Sure but the gains are similar on the twins but there is already more power and the chassis is better suited for the twisties. As a man who is not a 5'4" twig, I also happen to fit comfortably in my BRZ which is not something that can be said for the MX5. The MX5 also has to be optioned out much harder to get the LSD and 6-speed that comes standard in the twins.

Yeah, it appears the TQ250 is much better suited to the lower powered mx5....

The TQ250 suits my FR-S just fine.

How did you find yours?

I was just commenting based on that dyno, it matched the MX5 very well holding much more significant and constant gains throughout the entire range.
Don't have mine yet, waiting on RHD version to get finalised between rob and grant

Low powered cars do get more gain obviously....this car was only making 140 some hp stock.

The 250 with dump and a half is where it is at...most will be between 210 and 220 with good gas and well conditioned batteries.

Paper is one thing, real-world another. If your expectation is what it is, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Yes I can't wait until shiv releases the e85. I'm hankering for some primal beast mode.

Me too

I just sent Shiv a couple requests for the E-85 tune for the Phantom and discovered it hasn't been released yet.

Sorry to bother you Shiv I know you are busy on a lot of different projects.

You should take a vacation.

Cocoa Beach is beautiful this time of year. Come on down.
