Vargas Turbo Build - 2017 GTI SE

I am happy with the performance. The car is fast as hell. As for the dyno... I certainly was hoping for something like 440hp (DynoJet equivalent) on E30, but I was told their dyno was a "heartbreaker" prior, so I guess I'm not surprised that it read lower than I hoped. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how high the torque was and that it was so much higher than the HP number. I thought that it would be the other way around. At least, that's what I've seen on other dyno sheets.

I can tell you that the guys at the shop were VERY impressed. The manager has a Mk6 GTI that has ever mod in the book and dyno'ed much lower on their dyno. A Z4 with a supercharger dyno'd at 227 right before me and it sounded pretty strong.

The track is next!

Also, after he moved locations his dyno actually started to read even lower...LOL.

That sorta sucks though as now you can't really use it as intended (to see tuning comparisons on your own car) but he did what he had to do. Also, I find it amazing the difference between his dyno and EQTs. That's another 100whp for you right there.

Good stuff. I hope you have fun with it! Can’t wait to hear your experiences at track. From a fellow WODer(I’m typing this in the parking lot of my CrossFit gym).

But the estimated Dynojet numbers are also to low. Stage-3 on E30 should be mid 400's on a Dynojet. Please talk to Jon.

Protuned on 87? E40 IS38 will get you 360wheel on his dyno lol.

I did some logging while I had some e30 in the tank and have sent the logs to Jon. If he notes anything when he passes along the next version of the tune I will share. He usually doesn't.

I'll give Jon some kudos for his patience, however. He sent me my first tune in early May and since the car has been broken most of the time since then the logs have been few and far between. He hasn't complained as of yet...

Yeah we are gonna have to go with a no on that one, dawg.

Not a good sign when the last post from anyone that has even seen the car in person is from 2 years ago on September 3rd.
