    installation of piggyback is very easy, done in a few minutes. Removing plastic or carbon covers left/right of
    engine bay and acces is to boost pressure sensors left/ right. Only boost pressure sensors have to be connected.
    Capristo promises plus 50 PS ( nearly hp). After installation I made a test run to measure acceleration.
    Times have improved, not alltoo much, but you can feel it. 100 – 200 kph now in 5.3 s , without box
    5.6 s – 5.7.
    200 –250 kph in 4.8 s instead 5.2 s. Engine feels with piggyback more dynamic and boost increase is
    faster, car makes mor fun to drive, engine feels more dynamically, although power and torque increase is only 6–7%.
    On the other hand this soft tuning (boost pressure increases of about 0.15 bar) does not
    overload engine and gearbox. I guess my car has now about 700 bhp +. Not all 488 have qouted
    670 PS but with Capristo box in any cases 700 hp is realistic.

    In next weeks I make dyno test.

    But so far, besides warranty issues, Capristo piggyback is recommedable. Price in Europe wirh VAT about 1650 Euro.

    Did you dyno the car prior to the modification? What brand of dyno do you use?

    Your posts is best, as always )
    I run rolls with new gt2rs on my stock 488, from 60-80 km/h, and cars goes absolutely equal, until 250, when I shift on 7-th gear, and Gt2rs goes ahead on 2-3 car lengths at 300 km/h
