Hi just fitted my liquid guage to my facelift s3 bam and been out to see what i can get are these things accurate at all ? My car has a few mods - milltek catback , panel filter, forge tip ,forge split r and stage 1 map . Im getting the following readings 245 bhp 263 ft lb torque . It seems to peak at 20psi but sometimes goes bit over at 22 psi . Are these figures ok with this guage ? i thought mapped s3 are around 260ish . Thanks for any advise.

260bhp from stage 1 is subjective at best... most do between 245 and 255 depending...
Liquid calculates BHP from airflow... if your MAF is tired then this could explain your lower power reading... using airflow to calc bhp is not an exact science anyway....
As Dave said, 245 from 20psi sounds right... get rid of the Split R though, that won't be doing you any favours...
