is it me or did JKM's rollers all run figures about 20bhp above normal readings?
Did someone say the rollers had a problem?
....The first car on the dyno was a completely standard unmodified K03 GTI and that made 217(?) IIRC. I'm not 100% sure but I think that Jim rechecked their dyno setup at that stage. My car was on next and the fact that JKM did an extra 3 runs (to check something else unrelated to this question) did cause everyone, including myself, to wonder what was happening.
At 269 bhp I was up 8 bhp from my previous best of 261 (up 10 bhp if you count the run of 271). My torque was also up to just over 300 ftlb and my curves were as smooth and sweet as ever.
When I got 261 last year it was immediately after installing the Forge Twintake but JKM reduced my Revo Boost to allow for the OEM fuel pump. The last dyno session (at JKM) had peaked at 253 but this was because I needed a new coilpack.
Was everyone's power up from their previous dyno session at JKM (those who weren't first-timers)?
I think I'll ask JKM if they'd like to post an overall comment on the day's results but we don't want to get into one of those never ending someone else's dyno's willy is bigger than yours etc debates!
Going for an aftermarket HPFP and upping my Revo settings would increase my power further, as would also going from Revo2 to 2+, but quite honestly I love the balance of my car as it is even if it's not the fastest and its state of tuning is so far proving to be very reliable (very much as a result of consistently using JKM for tuning and taking their advice). Sometimes when in the company of those tuned Ed30's I think I need more power to keep up but there's no point stretching things - My car is a keeper.
