    Ive had two standard power 3Bs.
    While I still owned a 3B I went to see a ABY out of interest as I had never been in one before?
    It was standard with overboost and it blew me away so I bought it on the spot
    Fun times before the modding began

      Is the overboost a standard feature or a mod? My ABY is quick no doubt but looking for some cheap power mods while I sort everything else out before it gets proper power upgrades.

        Hmmm - I drove Steve from Crieff's Avant which had been chipped while he was servicing my 3B at the time. I thought the ABY was more linear in delivery, almost NA compared to my MRC mapped 3B. Didn't feel as fast either - maybe it had a boost leak??

          Standard but gets removed when chipped for a more sustained boost level by most tuners

            That makes more sense

              If you look at Hunkers S4 thread he is doing up there is within it a post saying 200 Euros

                The above comes from someone who has owned both so that pretty much spells it out clearly dont you think? I would rather the ABY.
