    My "new to me" Grigiao Silverstone 2017 488 (4900 miles) will be delivered next week from Mark Motors in Boerne, TX. I am coming straight from a 360. Looking forward to learning more, sharing and having a good outlet to research.

    Question: Have any of you used the VR ECU piggyback boost signal tuner? Looks like a significant jump on 93 octane (788hp). I have them on my new NSX and my new BMW M8 Comp from JB4 and love them.

    Congrats - Grigio Silverstone is the perfect color for a 488 ;)
    Not sure about increasing the power, the jump from a 360 is already huge. This being said, there is no such thing as too much power...

    Great car , Great color , Great to see those ugly Japanese inspired Orange side indicators on American spec cars tinted ! They stand out like dogs balls.
