There's measured torque (as in direct measurement from the dyno) and then derived torque (which is a calculated value based on estimated engine rpm).
Here's the dyno chart:
Max for derived torque (to compare to your brochure figure) is ~253Nm @ 2,300 RPM. Though if you look at your brochure figure it states peak torque as 280Nm @ 1,700 RPM which clearly it wasn't making. Reason for this is probably due to torque limiters in the transmission not transferring full torque until higher up in the rev range. So torque is good but really hard to compare anything back to manufacturer specs which are flywheel figures without any transmission or driveline losses. Dyno figures are measured at the wheels so it makes it hard to make any direct comparison.
Unfortunately I didn't ever have a stock dyno chart for my old 125TSI for comparison.
Some software goodness is in order...Peak torque for APR stage 1 v2.1 is quoted around 440nm and stage 2 v2.1 is quoted around 462nm....lets light up those tyres.....

I'll look to get some before/after runs with a GPS based timer. I don't have a v-box but do have access to a g-tec which is a very similar device with 10Hz GPS chip. I have found this is quite repeatable so even if it's not 100% accurate (i.e missed lead-in), it does give very consistent reading so the before/after comparison is still valid.
Awesome, I've got a gtech as well and it's reasonably accurate... It's hard to find a perfectly level strip for a run, unless it's a closed circuit strip...but as you say you can measure relative improvement in similar conditions.
