DSCI is a all round map which gives you only slightly less torque midrange and I really mean slightly, but it holds boost much higher up the revs and i found it better suited to me.
Sts really suffer from heat soak, and majorly restricted air intake and downpipe, change those to a fmic, induction kit with cold air intake and a 3 inch downpipe with either a sports cat or decat and it will be a very quick road car.
I loved every second of my ST and im gutted I sold it, your making me jealous lol.

Cheers for the info mate, I'll leave the race+ on for a few days then swap it over to dsci to see the difference! All those bits are on the shopping list, but the mrs keeps reminding me that we get married in september so we've got our priorities elsewhere

A mate of mine's ST has got DS, a fmic and an exhaust system, that's a quick bit of kit! Would be interesting in seeing how it compares to mine side by side!
