Default Bhp reading ...

Hey everyone.

I am just curious to see the difference between bhp at the fly and bhp at the wheels.


With my new set up i have been told i could be making 200bhp but is that at the fly or the wheels ?


My spec.

Standard engine
grs cooler
p8 cossie management, coil pack,anti lag
standard blower, -31 actuator

Now i see everyone getting these read outs for there cars from the dyno but are the reading from the fly or the wheel.

Sorry if it seems abit silly to ask but i would like to know. ?

cheers

90% of print outs will be at the flywheel

+1
With your spec you wont make 200bhp @ fly (about 170 @ wheels), your standard turbo is only good for around 180-190bhp @ fly.
