But on the road, it didn't seem as responsive or quick to spool. Given a choice, I think the TQ250 is a better performer at this stage. Even ignoring the currently hungry aspects of the TQ300.



Looks like I'll have my 1.5 dump pack upgrade there next week! And I'll re-do the OTS maps accordingly. Both for gasoline and E85. I know lot of people are waiting so I'll try to do it as soon as possible.
