putting down 230-250 ft/lbs of torque. None of use B6'ers have any "real" proof beyond the tunners claims, but im sure you guys have plenty of experience in this.

Default Well the only claims we'd have is a personal dyno plot...

...which is about as good as a tuner's dyno plot, if not worse. So i'm not sure what sort of proof you're looking for?

Default well he doesnt belive the tunners, im looking for someone that has chiped

a 2001.5 or so and got it dyno'ed. The biggest thing is he doesnt seem to belive the claims of the tunners. He doesnt think the 1.8T is cabable of thoese numbers. In stock turbo form.

Default Race him!

No, I'm not kidding. Go out on the highway, and do a rolling 5th gear pull. All that torque will become immediately apparent. If he still doubts it...there are a few tuners across the country with 4 wheel dynos. Find out when some Audi/VW folks are meeting for a dyno day, and drag him along.

If he's not going to believe the dyno charts that the tuners put up, then he's not likely to buy anything you dig up here, so I wouldn't waste your time. He wants to see it in person, before he'll believe anything.

Default well, i know motor engenering, i tryed to explain to him

with 17psi (which is definatly obtainable on the stock K03, my giac makes 17psi) thoese numbers are not very far fetched. Its all math..170hp with less then 14psi, add 4-5psi and timming viola...power.

Default Who cares what he thinks.

If he doesn't believe a k03 can put down those #'s with just a chip, he's ignorant. end of story.

That guy must not be too smart if he does not think it is easy to pull power out of a turbo car.
