NZ Dyno Day Result

[Tim]

can't comment on the APR one as it's the first stage 3 mk5 I've seen and can't compare its results to anyone elses but the owner and APR rep for NZ seemed to be happy with the result.

From memory the claim is 285kw at the flywheel.
I dont think many of the BT kits make the claimed power though regardless of brand.

Why do you say that? Ours always make the claimed!

Our old GTI made well in excess of 230 fwkw on Dyno Dynamics & Mainline dyno's on about 5 different occasions (even tested by Motor Magazine in the 09' Tuner shoot out by Subaru's technicians on Subaru Australia's training dyno @ 233.8 fwkw).

Talking to Stephane yesterday (he is the NZ customer with the stage 3) - it's a very fresh install, still bedding in, they had a spark plug problem (incorrect gap) that was cutting them out at the top end. Also if you watch the video, the car broke into wheelspin ~ 6000rpm.

Oh, and three stage 3 S3's recently tested on an independent dyno all made in excess of 250 all wheel kw in 40 degree heat (one from QLD, one from NSW & one from the ACT).

So who's kits are you talking about?

Just to clear things up about the MPS, I was referring to 190KW @ flywheel.

The mk5 TDI is stock as a rock. it's DSG as well not even manual. owner was pretty stoked with the result he was glad not to have the lowest KW as well :p

I wouldn't right off the TDI's, I think they hold their own

Can someone confirm if they use Garrets for stage 3s?

All the APR Stage 3 kits use the Garrett GT series turbo's

I can back this up...I was there on the day...All 3 were withing 4KW of each other, and all 3 were over 250KW ATW.
