As any reputable tuner would tell you. No one above board is going to risk breaking federal law so your street car can pass emissions. Especially this day and age where the EPA is coming after even small shops.

Except Volkswagen.

This is the shop I was looking at going to for the dyno pulls. Opinions on mustang dyno for this car? I've never dyno'd any of my cars before

hey its nice to see someone from near where i used to live. if i wouldve stayed we coulda linked up for some pulls. i used to live right outside Fort Oglethorpe, GA.

wow the WRX numbers are low, thought it would be at least 240+ to the wheels.

So is a tuned 1.5T faster than a wrx lol? (not off the line)

Based on my test drive of the '18 WRX, that's easy to believe. Now a tuned WRX on the other hand... well, I'll just be happy making stock WRX power and call it a day.

and Audi

Best guess based on available trap speeds - not quite.

Often times, an arbitrary dyno won't mean much unless both cars were measured on the same day at the same facility. Also, seems many of the 1.5T's dynos on the are measured at the hubs (vs. the wheels) which "may" not factor losses from the rotational mass.

Yeah but Vits 1.5T makes 245 to the wheels

I think Vit uses a Dynapack, IIRC. I don't know if his readouts represent output @ the hubs, or are corrected to factor loss from the wheels. I think each side weighs a shade under 50 lbs with the tire.

@VitViper , anything to add? I don't want to misrepresent.

He states it in his blog on his website.

Got mine today! My GF is keeping the Touring in the background. Time to have some more fun @VitViper

For sh*ts and giggles, I did some Paint.exe work to black out the Sedan
