  • MKIV GTI Power Figure?

    So I recently had my gti dynoed. Now it's a known low reading dyno but it made 130hp on this dyno (really More around 145). My question is with the below mods should it be making more? It feels so much more than 145hp!

    APR Cai with pod
    APR 98octane tune
    Fuel pump
    Aftermarket fmic
    Turbo back exhaust with hi flow cat etc.
    Lightened flywheel

    Thoughts?

    Dude, you already started a thread here,

    You need to compare the before and after power on the same dyno. Some dynos read low and others are real happy.
    Do you have a stock power figure ?
    Put up the dyno sheet.

      Thats about right . Bigger intercooler with a ko3 is a waste , you just dont generate enough heat to justify anything much bigger than stock . You'll actually loose power due to pressure drop . Also no downpipe means turbo cant breathe properly . You need to add a downpipe and fit at least a ko3s and change your fpr to 4.5 bar and you'll see significant increases

        I've overlooked the fuel pressure, won't a tune regulate that automatically? If not, how would you adjust it manually.
        I'm fitting a K03S and 3inch turbo back (42DD) exhaust this week and then a tune.

          Fuel pressure will only help if you're running short on fuel; and yes you will need a retune if you do so.
