The goal for this car has always been simple: 200whp on DB's dyno. It *should* make more than that with the downpipe, but I'm not counting on any of the other BS dyno sheets I've seen online. VW'ers have a knack of being particularly inaccurate in how they post numbers, use correction factors, crank numbers (LOL), etc. BEST guess is 225whp on Dyno Dynamics, and torque should be above that, maybe 235-240wtq. On MAP's dynojet all bets are off, no idea how that thing reads.
Steve, this car is the 2.0t, not the 1.8t. I know what you mean about the peakyness on the 225hp TT. It had the K04, this car has a K03, like the 180hp version, but spun up a bit more
It is for sure an insta-spool turbo but with the chip power is smooth and linear, making power all the way up to about 6k, then falling off (6500 redline). EPL has done an awesome job of tuning this thing, it really is fun to drive, even just with FWD.
