I was sure the 190 was just an ECU and a set of pulleys

My car has the 190 kit but no blue hoses; its mentioned on exiges.com that if its been done later they may have different bits and pieces - the ECU looks different (gold top plate) and I called the previous servicing garages to check what had been done.

The guys at lotus told me it should have had a red rocker cover. But the ones i have looked at say they have the 190 U/G but dont have the red rocker?

Our approximate estimates of additional horsepower available from the 190 upgrade components is as follows:
Item Increase (PS)
190 ECU 13
101 Degree pulley 2
Sports Exhaust with Cat Pipe 4
Breather System 1
I've had 3 190 VHPDs and none had red rocker cover

I think i will have to contact the 1st onwer.

Same here, no red bits either
I called the Dealer who sold mine and they confirmed that they did it. I am sure I remember the guy telling me it was usually done as a Dealer thing on pre registered cars.
