Seems about right to me, maybe 1 or 2 bhp high, but not far.

JM_16v How do you know thats not accurate? There 109 standard, a 7bhp gain from an exhuast is hardly un realistic. It might just be a healthy engine.

lets face it, it's only a few bhp if anything, hardly worthy of a rr argument!!!

the engine only has 25k on it as the previous owner brought a new one from germany when he was in army, and i just did major service on it


i mean a piper cross induction is about 3-5bhp exhaust is about 5-7 bhp

so it can't be that far out, anyway i'm taking it to aldon automotive nxt week to get it done again and will compare the results

cheers for the insights guys

thats how max power works out power, it doesnt work like that in the real world, most bolt on mods wont really do anything, and an open cone induction kit may actually lose you power

Have you had it rolling roaded on the same rollers standard? Even if they over/under read using the same rr will show any gains.
