Well lads i put her on the dyno on saturday. good result i was happy with it
cant understand how high my torque is though...
on a mix of 95/98 octane fuel (half tank) and with the only modification been a courtenay sport panel filter as i took off the dump valve and cone filter i orignally had.

i thought torque was more than that? they have some overboost thing or something for 'safer overtaking'

192lb ft at overboost.
I'd say they are over-reading im afraid. Your not getting 30bhp from a panel filter

Typo..
Not getting 13bhp from a panel.
Yeah Adam, overboost is 192lb ft, that 170lb ft seems low, im sure it only gives like 5-10lb ft more for a few seconds.

i figured out how i got 233ftlbs of torque at 2396rpm....
if you have my car in 4th, 5th or 6th at around 1500rpm and put the foot to the floor it sometimes boosts right up to 1.7bar until it passes 2500rpm and then drops down. according to an techncian in vauxhall... its the ECU just giving more boost to get the car up and going. and most people that have dyno'd them would not have gotten it to do that. they would of reached around 1.3 bar at the most. but it seems when my car was gettin dyno'd it did this and produced this figure....

he said to me on some occasions if the car needs to pick up speed it will do that. not all the time. only sometimes... but for some strange reason it does it quiet alot in my car. ill try get a video later and put it up on youtube
