    MK4 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?

      The short answer is yes. Your mods should be good for quite a bit more. How many kms?

      So what's wrong? Lots of questions, it would be worth scanning the ECU for errors. How's the service history?
      Have the following parts been replaced according to the service guide; filters, pumps, etc?
      Is the FMIC a good one? Do you have boost leaks? Is the diverter valve stock? If not, how is it set?

      No simple solution, but it could just be a clamp is loose, loosing boost or something similar.

      What FPR are you using? I didn't think the stock turbo needed a bigger one.

        I don't see 1 dyno being 10% out from another, especially at relatively low power levels.

        I think my std A3T did about 95Kw at the wheels, it was 6 years ago.

        I take it the dyno place didn't have any other Golfs on file to compare to?

        If it goes better than the numbers suggest, don't waste money on dynos if you don't think they are accurate and haven't got a before figure.
