It's a fair question, IMO.

I haven't seen anyone discuss any Manthey upgrades at RAC in the 5+ years that I have frequented this board. RAC has represented them for about 3 years.

Curious as well. But I think they are more popular for the water-cooled cars.

There 510hp packages looks like its priced very well compared to the Ruf which I am a huge fan of

Thanks again

The latest bigger 100 cell cats together with K24 turbo development means the original kits from late 90's to ~2005 have been improved upon.

Developing the engine maps to go with the new hardware is the clever bit, most Euro maps out there were done by RS, Mandl, Ansgar or Ofzgy and really only RS and maybe Mandl (Sportec) have developed them further using the newer components.
The response of a later gen K24 with 3.8 and specific programming is pretty amazing

bb993tt will be along shortly I would guess. He installed a Manthey ECU program in place of the factory 450 ECU program that came with the K24s and found a noticeable improvement with less lag. But that wasn't enough - he took the car to Ruf a couple of years later. He can offer a good comparison between the Manthey "500" kit and a real 520 install from Ruf.

No one is questioning the quality of the query...

Then you should have been upfront and simply said so in your first post...

And if you can't handle the sarcasm, then maybe any car forum isn't for you...

Nothing wrote was of any type of instigation for an argument

However, I refer you to what you wrote in your posts

If there's any indication of childish mentality, it's your silly name calling

Default Just part of RL unfortunately

He's on another post actually supporting a well known high priced retailer because of a car he's trying to sell, if we had that mentality we'd go on that thread & say how stupid it is, It's just beneath some to go low.
