2016 dyno day

OK 3 places left. Opened up to any make/model (preference for Euro/forum members).

Hey tigger73, can you put please put me down as a most likely starter. I am not 100% certain, still wearing the scars from the last one I went to, but will let you know Friday if I am NOT coming.
Look forward to catching up

Cheers

2015 Polo GTI DSG

I will clarify that, I meant had a poor result with my previous Polo due to turbo overheating caused by operator running car up initially with traction control on and having trouble turning it off. Have read in UK Polo forum that Polos often do not perform well on dynos due to heat build up around motor, not helped by me leaving it idling for 30 minutes before my run.

Just did not want anyone to think I had a problem with anyone else, far from it.

Thanks for the clarification. We also had a modified GT-R do a similar thing and actually overheat while idling on the driveway waiting to go on the dyno. With no air flow through the intercooler/radiator the cars can tend to heat soak or worst case overheat.

Sigh, that was a disappointment. (I brought that car along for a mate.)

Since then, that car's had more significant work done, including an E85 conversion and (thankfully) a new radiator and hoses. Last dyno was well over 400 at all 4.

I don't know about that, I'll be going for the wooden spoon :D
