Increased HP??

Can someone explain how the Works GP gets more HP over the standard Works Kit? Is the pully 17% verses 15%? I know it revs higher, but would'nt that create more heat? Is the intercooler larger than a standard "S" intercooler?

Oh, on a side note, what color are the dial lights at night since that dials are darker? Still orange?

The ECU has a little more aggressive mapping and the intercooler has two extra rows.

The standard Works Kit uses the stock intercooler, just replacing the cover.

This picture shows the two extra rows added to the GP intercooler ...

WOW, a picture and everything

Thanks a lot. I know this is not a big deal, but what color are the dial lights at night? Still orange? Just curious.
