Have you Dyno'd your car? KW?

[DIDZ]

True you cant compare different dyno results done on different days/dynos.

But - The dyno will be done in either 3rd or 4th gear depending on which gear is the 1:1 ratio.

You'll find most 6 speed boxes will be done in 4th and most 5 done in 3rd.

I know the MKIV's 1:1 ratio is 4th gear.

Not always correct anymore. Here is what a dyno operator i know had to say.

It doesn't really matter if a dyno run is done in 3rd or 4th or any gear for that matter, there's usually little difference in power - it just changes the rate at which the car ramps up or revs (quicker in lower gears) and the speed the tyres are turning at the end of the run - eg at the top of 4th the car could be doing close to 200kph! Hence we almost always use 3rd gear.

From what i have read its got to do with rev range now days

You've got an animal on your hands there just like mine.
Mine was in fourth. 1:1.

I don't know how they can manage to stay on the road
