Replaced burnt out bulb on the climate control🙌🏽

Rocking the parrot 👌🏽 🦜 it’s super buggy but I love that it shows the Alfa Romeo logo when starting up and turning off the car. So that’s why I’ll probably be keeping it.

Bulb change looks great btw. I didn’t know it even had a light behind it, mine was always out since I got it. Was it hard to do/source the bulbs?

Just got this off eBay, brand new, now to choose a tune, I already have AW 1 but wouldn't mind trying out the Celtic one. I thought more power means more torque but that's not the case, they are independent of each other.

That’s not actually correct. They’re directly linked. Torque and horsepower aren’t independent — they’re tied together by RPM. HP = (Torque × RPM) ÷ 5252. You’re on the right track actually but it’s the opposite. More torque —> more power.

That said, a tune can raise horsepower without necessarily raising peak torque if it lets the engine carry that torque higher in the revs, or flattens the curve across more of the band. That’s why you’ll sometimes see “more power” but the same (or even lower) torque number.

Can’t wait to see what tune you pick and what your impressions are 😊

I'm thinking heavier cars need more torque to get moving, ours being light will benefit from higher power without the torque, that's why I quite like the look of Celtic stage 1

More power will give you a higher top speed. More torque will get you to your top speed faster.
