Yesterday a few of my mates were going to a Vauxhall rolling road day at Dastek (Dalgety Bay). At the last moment a few dropped out so I got the chance to put the S3 on. After a few attempts trying to get an accurate reading because of the Haldex shifting power I finally diconnected the controller, much to the amazement of the Vauxhall boys the car was now FWD. Anyway we ran it up in FWD and the figures were 246bhp/264lb/ft on APR Optimax setting which I thought was low so he ran it up again as he thought the wheels may have been spinning but got the same figures. I then asked if he would run it up in standard setting which he did and we got 210bhp on the button which is correct for my car. Does anyone have any idea why I am not seeing the gains other APR users seem to be enjoying or is this just the product of an accurate dyno and I've spent just short of a grand for 36bhp /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gif
p.s. cheers to the Vauxhall Club and the boys at Dastek for going out their way to help, Top Blokes best £20 I've spent in a while
