I know some manufacturer bhps are a bit optimistic
then theres factoring loss of bhp due to millage/wear
It's tricky trying to get information from a rover forum but from what I can find though a few people in 2008/9 did 160 rolling roads.
one with a backbox and open induction kit got 159bhp
another with janspeed backbox, mid section, sports cat, 4-2-1 jan manifold plus open cone got 177bhp atf
the final one from 2008 was just a backbox and got 159 atf

So it doesn't seem like rover were far off with the figures.
but would I really be down 20bhp from wear and tear on a 64k engine?

i did have both systems, but i wont clog up steves thread with my experince.
Mems 2? I thought mems3 would be better due to a couple more sensors and remap ability?
