Corrected at the wheels yes. Shows that they are being honest about power, since it would make it better for them to show LOWER stock HP in order to make their ECU tune look better.

They give 35 more PEAK HP at the wheels, but comparing the redline HP, it's 77 more, since stock starts to peter out at ~5K RPMs.



I'll also point out that the 2010 is all they can do right now, apparently there are changes between the 2011 and 2010 ECU and they are not prepared to do 2011 yet...

their stock run has an APR exhaust, so it is not stock and their dyno reads high (~6%).

So if their dyno runs high, does that mean the raw numbers are high or the gains are high, or both? Is the +77hp figure 6% high?

Joel, the engineer mainly in front of the ECU tune work, came on the thread on Azine and said 2011 was not any different, that they knew, only they have not tried the tune on one yet and want to verify 100% it will work before saying so.

I think they should remove that reference to "tiptronic" . . .
