Default Dash command accuracy?

Hey ya'll.

I have a kiwi plex 2 bluetooth obd thingy and dash command is saying I'm pumping out 267bhp on what I thought (and was sold) a standard wrx.
How accurate is it and where does it measure it?

Wouldnt bother with the readings, it cant accurately give you a number for bhp. its and indication nothing more.

Especially when it calculates by what weight the car is etc , and wheelspin etc messes with outcome. I found out my hp on a dyno , then adjusted the settings til it matched. It still changes day to day,
