Default Down on torque??

what do you make of todays power run @ well lane?

97wrx (276ps model)
Vf23 turbo
full samco set inlcuding inlet
K&N panel filter
3" decat revolution system with open neck downpipe
dawse device set to about 1.4bar peak and its about 1.3bar @6k revs (checked on the way home, i swore it said 1.35 )



torque @ 4k revs is down, seams to spool a lot later then the vf22 i had fitted previously?
although its making the 280bhp 500 rpm sooner and torque is about 20lbft up over standerd

thoughts?
im thinking bin the vf23 and fit a td05fe

the more i look at it
the more i think the turbo is knackerd.......
it probably does need a set of plugs, but the car feels healthy on the road, shek said on the trip home
"is it boosting ok now" as we were shifting at quite a pace, i explained that it was boosting the same as before i did the RR.

the car feels soo much quicker then when i first got it, which is why i cant understand todays results

alan a small question, do you know what they did to the rollers when you didnt get your results?

they tweaked the box thing on the lead, what does this do?

i dont know how rolling roads work, but to my very untrained eye, i would have guess they changed the load on the rollers or sumthing?


ps20spd, do you know what the little box on a lead does ?

micky seems like your car got similar bhp figures as to what it has always got maybe if your chasing better figures you should consider getting your car tuned/mapped somewhere

i dont think thats a good idea steve

no point in me going to have it mapped sumwhere for the mapper to say
"ohh we cant map it properlly as this isnt right"

it boosts right, it fuels right, there is no knock retard, it didnt deliver for sum reason today, need to find out why
a mate has made a point that it might be loseing boost sumwhere?

no i dont know, but i thought that if the roller length was adjusted then it screwed up the results as comparitors

or so i thought
