Dahlback delivers...APR probably will too...my concern was their constant delays>>
don't take this personally man.....the shortfall of e mail is it doesn't fully communicate like face to face. If my writing style infers a "hate" toward APR its not intended....my apologies if so

I never take anything over the net personal-just calling it how I see it....
as long as you are happy with the DB stuff then great, but you appear arrogant in your manner of "questioning" APR's claim for their kit-no harm intended, have a good night.

Peter - i'm not knocking you or your kit - but it seems like it's never running quite right....
I fully understand how that feels - believe me - my problems stock have all be OEM. However, if your kit is only putting down 320whp at 32psi on 100 octane or higher - i'd be taking it off my car or demanding to find out why it's so weak.
I will continue to say - this kit will deliver - regardless of front or awd dyno's I fully believe it will put down 350 WHP based upon the components in the kit and the tuning that APR does.
I expect similar numbers from DelRio as well - although Nathan's car will be using a smaller turbo.

Their crime was stringing us along with the 2 week thing >>
Their redemption for that crime was that when they did finally bring their product to market it was fully matured, not a Beta test.
They didnt use unsuspecting, payed customers as guinie pigs.........this time ;-)

I mostly agree >>>
Those FWD hub numbers are going to be MUCH higher than a proper AWD dyno.
Haldex+dyno with rollers that arent linked = disaster, but a proper dyno with linked rollers will work fine.

Thier AWD hub SAE numbers were higher than their FWD numbers....
so which is correct? Without a baseline - NO DYNO numbers are "correct". I KNOW that a TT with the haldex disconnected will put down 195 whp....on a certain dyno at a certain time, at a certain outside temperature, by a certain dyno operator, with a certain amount of air in the tires............I think you get the point.
