I couldn't say if they are inflated or not, I was just saying they appear comparable. Seen a few now where similar spec cars are making similar figures at TDI and other places. Like ForgedV car/results, when you compare to Jasondc55 who has the same type of mods...intake, header and exhaust and he also made 247bhp, but on TDI's "over reading" rollers.

I was disappointed with my results from tdi's dyno. Certainly didnt over read for my map tweak. 242hp and 165ft/lb with an RRC fitted. Similar figures and power delivery compared to when i had my PRC on there. However feels quicker in real life though.
To keep thread on topic,
Im about to do the final clearance checks and trim my rear bumper tab before my alignment tomorrow

^^^ above is about 19% percent calculated to 247Bhp
some dynos work out transmission losses some have a fixed value..
say this was on 25% worked out then final figure would be 258Bhp
again on an 15% would be 238bhp
All dynos read at the wheels.. so best get that figure..
another way of over inflating figures is doing a pull in a lower gear will give higher results :xtsk:

Seeing as gearing makes a difference I wonder how much a different final drive varies things....
Recieved a Few nice parcels during the week, first off was a special order Personal Black Suede / Blue stich wheel
Next up I received this item this morning. FEELs half titanium catback exhaust
Im hoping to get the exhaust fitted in the next couple of weeks ready for Japfest2 but the wheel wont be fitted untill I receive my Hub and Snap off Boss.

Nice pipe birdy, that will sound incredible..
Had my alignment done at grinspeed today really happy with it.
When i started the car this morning the fuel gauge slowly dropped and stayed on low despite being near full. Got back from grinspeed trying to find the problem..
Ended up fishing these out of the fuel tank. One of them was preventing the level float rising, little porcelain like balls. Its mental to think someone has put them in there. Fuel gauge is working fine now
