Racing Beat complete exhaust

It says it adds 59hp with a fuel controller. How much does it do without it, and how does it even put out that much power for an exhaust? (turbo ii)

Because rotaries are very very very very very very very very very responsive to exhaust. Oh, and because it allows the turbo to boost up another 3 lbs or so.

you can't without the FCD. the car will just cut out when you floor it.

it adds 59hp to the 87-88 cause the boost goes from 5.5psi to 11-12. most of the power will come from that.
