Maybe it's some conspiracy that the MY2013 cars with the new ECU have less power and they want the 2012s to get the new ECU so the ppk actually increases power! /end crazy conspiracy talk
All I know is that I REFUSE to pay for an "extra" or "different" ecu...yes, totally understand a tune and some additional cooling elements make sense, but another Ecu, that's $$$$$

Such a PITA.
