Default 380 bhp on Greens?

Just had my car fitted with T34, RS500 I/C, Greens, etc. and a "380bhp chip", and my mechanic assures me that with this chip 380 is achievable on green injectors.

Does this sound right to anyone? I thought Greens were good for 350 only, regardless of chip. But 380? I thought that was Light Blue or Grey injector territory?

It sounds a bit much for me mate.May be able to get it out of a green but pushing it right to its limits.I would prefer a safe grey than a green flat out.

I have always been led to believe 350 is max on greens and most only run 330 on them. People who work on cosworths for a living tell me Greens will not put enough fuel out for over 350. Hope this helps.

380 is a bit to much I think...

As far as they told me:

- original Yellow (rwd) = max 265-270bhp
- original D-blue = max 290-300bhp
- Bosch Greens = max 350-360bhp
- Bosch L-blue= max 380-400bhp
- Bosch Grey = 400+ - 500bhp

If you want 380bhp, I would buy some L-blue one's or better, buy some grey's

You're right Wim!

But what I mean is:

8x Grey = 500 Bhp

4x Grey = 400+ (indeed aprox 440-450 max)

I was to fast with clicking on the Submit button lastnight

Anyway, as fate would have it the ECU spontaneously combusted today. So the car's back in the garage and who only knows what'll happen next.

I only picked it up from the T34 etc. upgrade yesterday, and it's broken down twice already - Ford...
