    Isn't there a fuse for the Haldex? I'm pretty sure a lot of the vortex guys have pulled the fuse when they get their car dynoed to see what the power is at the front wheels only.

    Just disconnect the plug at the rear diff for the Haldex and you have a front wheel drive R32, easy to play on the dyno then>

    What's the point in knowing how much power you have at the front wheels if you drive on the road with all four anyway?

    Because for some reason people think that dyno results are the be and end all of performance results. Your dyno **** is much bigger in fwd mode as you only have around 15%-20% losses through the drivetrain. Losses with the haldex it goes up to around 30%.

    Jsut Remember Balc, that driving while accessing the ABS controller is not good. And from memory I think you can only drive for ten minutes, than the car cuts out.

    Yeah, exactly, I know you lose more through AWD but I still don't see the point other than a higher output figure
