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.

All of the above

But if it has a single exit sports exhaust.........then it's almost a given that it is

After much research, I found out that if the car was upgraded to the 190 spec then you had to fill up every time you passed a petrol station, whilst the standard cars would make it to every other station.... Think the 190 uses more petrol.........)
