It runs 100% spot on, de-filtered, non-EGR mani's (not some bodge welded EGR one) straight through exhaust, 25+psi decent Bosch pump which I fiddled with on the dyno. So I don't see why it couldn't have made that power, which to be fair didn't hold for very long but it still peaked at that figure so a gov mod would have helped maintain it longer.
There is the thing about the RPM gauge and stuff so that could have caused some slight inaccuracies but f it had there's no doubt it made any less than 130-140. But again after looking at the graph it does look about right in spool up and fuel cutting times to be fair....
Lets face it alot of cars with similar spec which have been on rolling roads may have poor set-ups, boost leaks, blocked fuel filter ect ect but I know this engine is a good one.
There's no need for such aggressive posts though, it's only a bloody car dyno graph....
Slight inaccuracies? A 500rpm inaccuracy is 25bhp difference. Who's to say any other t2 that only made 140bhp was set up wrong..?
Ruan has pretty much echoed my sentiments, but f*ck it, obviously everyone who has said it seems over must be wrong.
