If 240 @ Powerstation then probably 260ish at Power Eng.

Instant increase, see

Or do you want it to really go faster?

John,

Sorry, I might have confused you with my comments:

You should get more than 240 on your wrx, I only got 240bhp due to the small TD04 turbo on the UK models running out of boost at high revs.

At high rpms (where the high power is calculated) you should be able to hold the boost much better with your larger turbo and probably get close to 280bhp.

Also, as previously said the powerstation dyno reads a lot lower than the power engineering one. I would expect anything from 15-30 bhp difference between the two.

Look at the scoobynet dyno sites to get a rough idea of what spec gets what power.

Rich


Edited to say: I have just had a browse myself and its makes amusing reading, some of the UK cars that are listed on both dynos have around 30bhp difference for no apparent spec change.

Going on my results I would expect to be 270bhp+ at power engineering

Up the boost, your being a bit consersative at 1 bar:

My UK97
Unichip
full decat + hi-flow filter
dawes set to 1.2 bar
gives 242bhp & 241 lb-ft torque @ powerstation

You should see a similar torque figure but higher power due to your larger turbo keeping the boost going at higher rpm (TD04 runs out of puff).

Rich

edited to correct crap spelling & to say any boost changes should be done where you monitor the air/fuel ratio and check for detting, discuss with powerstation your needs and they should be able to sort you out.

Lastly - you are using SUL aren't you?
