Would I see any benefit from changing the squadra for a Gtech2? 98 Fiat Coupe 2.0VT 320hp 12 Jaguar XKR 5.0 SC Speed Pack 510hp 14 Volvo XC60 R-Design Lux Nav 180hp

GrahamL Unregistered G	Originally Posted by Jimbo I thought the gtec2 used a similar ignition map to the squadra? Nope. The Squadra actually has a little more advance in places even. The only useful thing I "borrowed" from the Squadra was the raised rev limit and I didn't even use that on the standard Gtec2. Salmaan, if you PM me your address I'd be happy to send you a Gtec2 to test and you can see for yourself how they compare.
