just had my 1.4 sport on the rolling road
not very happy
ive got a k&n 57i and a cat back exhaust
i got 88.2bhp/5832rpm with a dip in the graph near the top
and 87.8lbf/4385rpm with a smooth graph
unsure about how much my knackered head gasket will affect it what you all think?

I would agree with the K&n loosing power and probably whats giving you the dip in the graph, how do you know your headkgasket is gone.

would expect around 100 if was running right! i realise that the cone will lose me power but to take it below standard?
head gasket has gone coz there is water in the oil, oil in the water, its overheating drinking water and stuggles to start

wouldnt have thought the k & n would loose power on a rr with the bonnet open and fans etc, on the road yes.
Anyway power figure sounds about right, I think the torque is a bit down though but then if the cars not running 100% then its to be expected
