I have heard about this device thing for a long time but never read an article about it. I would really like to see a good pic of it so see what it was able to do that made an extra 50hp!

Change in the rules allowing WRC spec cars rather than GroupA. This meant that the 'donor' car didn't need to be 4wd or turbocharged for the race car to be a 4wd turbo monster. Made cars cheaper to produce. Means that these days you cannot buy a 4wd turbo nutter Focus/206/Xsara/Accent etc. Which is a same. In addition, the 'rolla is shorter and higher than the ST205, which better suited the new type of rally stage.

I would really like to see a good pic of it so see what it was able to do that made an extra 50hp! It just cracked the restrictor open and allowed more air. You need to remember, a GroupA/WRC car could develop somewhere in the region of 500-600bhp if it was allowed to breathe properly. To limit power, the FIA rule that all cars must breathe through a standard size restrictor (28mm I think). This effectively means all the cars have pretty much the same horsepower.
