This says 375ps\560nm I'll do the conversion in a bit but i think ft\lb of torque should be over 400

I just looked at a dyno from TPC, it looks like the turbo just falls off up top on theirs as well. I do see they spool about 500rpm faster than yours though.
View attachment 178661

They are hitting peak torque around the same rpm I am... unsure about when they hit "full spool." Nick from TPC is saying that seeing peak TQ at 4500rpm seems correct based on the load of the dyno. Off the dyno, should be hitting peak TQ around 36-3800rpm.

Going to run another TPC20 GTI on Tuesday and see where I sit against him. If I fall flat on my face, I'll get a boost leak test and then if that comes back clean, then I'll chat with Fred from UM a bit to see what can be done.

On 2 different brands of dynos and by 2 different tuners my TPC20 hit peak torque at 4100 RPM.

This is pretty interesting. How do you feel about the LPFP?

Love mine over the last 2 years Put a new turboback on and its pretty much perfect on 93.

I would like to point a counter point to Navi, I would heavily disagree with the TPC20 being a "slightly" better Is38.

Everything is relative with tuning, mods, leaks, conditions.

It certainly takes time to get it perfect. I think I'm at 8-10 revisions via 5150/Cobb right now. These are cars sensitive enough that if the plugs aren't gapped just right your leaving power on the table.

Keep at it!

I don't have the LPFP. And I disagree also about the TPC20 being slightly better than the IS38. Unless +50 HP is only slightly better.

Hard to even notice the LPFP tbh. And I'll stay at it as long as UM is willing to revise their tune to get it "right." I've emailed Fred andCaste to get more of their input.

Is it Navi? If it is, throw his dragy in your car, then throw four 50lb dumbells in his car. If you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough.
