if its got a heatshield whack it on, theyre all reps as far as im aware.. if it aint got a acs code it aint real

I have the sensor coming tomorrow so i will comment on here how much of an increase there is
the 328 is 192hp to keep in with the stupid tax bracket. the m50 let adds a genuine 20hp when matched with the bbtb.

323 was the same.
