Default uk turbo bhp?

I have just been looking on the dyno graphs on this website and I have found that the uk turbos seem to be putting out more power than they should be (without mods), most of them are 230bhp rather than 215bhp, is this a common thing?

Could be down to the vagaries of the rolling road that they were tested on - ie generous!

I see, seems a bit pointless putting it on one then if it doesn't give an accurate reading.

Thumbs up

I was told by the service manager at my dealership (who I have a lot of respect for), that the BHP does vary on the cars, a lot depends on the way they are run in, they have seen a std MY00 with 237BHP, he hinted if they are run in carefully you will see better BHP as a result.
