-   The 308 kW rating is the ordering detail - a unit programmed to a different rating will not give the right output, so confirm the rating before ordering
-   The number it replaces was catalogued as a dataset, so ask about the programming or calibration this unit needs for your engine rather than assuming it arrives ready to run
