The trouble is you need to keep it sensible and as Mike is a mod his ass was getting handed to him, So it was only expected to last a short time before another mod locked it for him.

The calibration and acuacy of the dyno is not in question, It is the said TUV aproval that was harped on about for as long as I can remeber, That was used in part to discredit the dyno I use saying the figs could not be trusted as it does not have TUV approval, As it happens yours does not have it either,
It doesnt matter that it did once and you could not carry out any work for Ford until it gets reaproved,
This is the bone of contetion nothing more.

aye of course im just saying the figures produced on our dyno are very accurate and probably up to tuv approval standards also the temp probes are positioned so it does not get high correction figures so everything is spot on

im not questioning the point in hand im just saying you (not you anyone) cant call our figures un accurate

The other thread was locked by me,, just to cancel out the mods conspiracy theory.

I felt that Mike probably needed a bit of time to calm down as he had got so offended and started throwing insults at his friends etc, I just didnt feel there was any value in the thread continuing, it had done what I meant for it to do in terms of people knowing the truth about the dynos in question, and I saw no point in it just continuing as a row until it got moved to the spit your dummy room where it wouldnt have been visible to people searching on the site for MAD or Norris or TUV etc in future if they too had heard the rumours.

NO BODY IS QUESTIONING YOUR DADDYS FIGURES

You need to stop getting so defensive, l bet your old man does not give a rats arse what people say on PF about TUV

If you dont understand any of the above feel free to ask for a repeat

160.09Mph in 1/4 mile, is that a good road figure for a non TUV approved dyno showing 928Hp? Heheheh

Just wondering if their approval is for how the dyno is set up and how accurate it becomes because of that method rather than them calling out to check? If they actually come out and check it yearly that would be fine for a dyno used for a reasonable amount of work but imagine one that's used everyday, a lot can happen in a year.
