Dont Volkswagen use MAHA for stock/factory power figures?

If they do they must have been conservative as it seems lots of ED30's make more than 227bhp stock?

I thought that Maha had an excellent reputation. However, Superchips results on our forum rolling-road day there were consistently ridiculous! Apart from the social aspect, that day was a total waste of money. I think it demonstrates how important the dyno operator is too.

Yes, we want the fun of a meet and a degree of healthy willy waving, but we also want accuracy!

The problem Is.... How do we know what accurate is?

....Well I know that it can be a bit of a lottery sometimes but when a standard unmodified car plots its OEM bhp it then becomes a fairly reliable datum or yardstick. That's why everyone is always pleased when someone puts an unmodified car on the rollers and a good dyno operator will want that car on first.

Mine stock made 232 on JKM. So close to factory figures but.......

[chungster]

Mine's done 300+ on a MAHA...in stock form!! 

So I'll be up for a RR Day at APR to see what figs it'll do now.

That would normally be me

I'd be up for a RR meet

This could be good - Milton Keynes aka 'The Land Of Roundabouts' is well located for both Northerners and Southerners 

But 26th May and 27th October when there are already forum RR-meets booked are dates to be avoided.

They had a Fabia vRS 1.4TSI with an uprated intake on the rollers there today which made 190Hp in stock mode.  Assuming the intake is responsible for say 5-8Hp on a stock map id say its not actually too far out tbh.  The stage 1 figures matched the figures of what i have seen equivalent cars make on JKMs rollers.

But just because a 200bhp car makes ~200 on the RR.... how do you know that its actually 200bhp. Do you see what i'm getting at?

Might be up for this if things go to plan

[heavyd]

I might make the long drive down for this if its on a decent date
