Are you saying our Dyno is giving bogus results?

tell me this chris - if the engine speed reading was only half of what it should be, what would you see in terms of power?
as we know, the dyno measures torque at the wheels at multiplies it by speed to give power. so if the speed is wrong, the power will be wrong.
i'm not saying that the engine speed was not measured correctly, but it's one possibility to explain steve's apparent different power curve

i've got one off Mike, and its spot on, compared to a calibrated temp gauge, and reads the same as my Sec's monitor (both sensors in boost pipe before throttle so no heat soak), and is perfect for reading speeds.
Things that should always be monitored on a dyno accurately,
AFR,
Boost,
RPM,
ACT,
Det,
Water and oil temp.

I am not saying it gives bogus results but the temp difference from both the sensors seems a bit wrong to me.

However, unles you know how Noble's obtained their rpm reading compared to how TOTD obtained theirs, it could be that the Noble reading is the incorrect one . You need to establish this to enable criticism to be directed in the right place .

I thought you had a good intercooler . Mine only sees 38°C on APT's rollers at 1.6 bar (as close as I can get to your boost figure) and makes 355bhp @ the wheels at this boost level. Given the similarity with fan outputs, I would say that this isn't the source of the problem regarding peak power.
Ask Chris how he obtained your rpm reading as I WASN'T THERE TO SEE, so my "guess" may be completely and utterly wrong!
I personally think that the peak power will be at 7k (so TOTDs is only 200rpm off) and that the peak of 7.8k is the spurious reading. But that is MY OPINION.

I am not saying it gives bogus results but the temp difference from both the sensors seems a bit wrong to me.

So why wasn't your ACT's checked whilst you were trying to sort the low figures on the last runs?
Do You have a ECU monitor still?
