One way to settle it - go to a different unbiased rolling road. See what figures emerge then

Sam,
Obviously you have very selective reading, because here is a quote where Dennis is claiming 550bhp .

I completely stand by ALL my comments, and I think you will find that I fully understand everything that Dennis has done, even if you don't LOL.

However, just so we have it on record, what do YOU think the TRUE flywheel figures of this "550bhp" or 426bhp at hubs is?

I'm not surprised that people question the figures that come out of TDi if this is the level of intelligence of their top man . I can't believe you're disputing the interpretation of compressor maps which is FACTUAL, by trying to imply that Dennis's car has some magical ingredients that defy the laws of physics . Have you ANY idea what 130bhp transmission losses relates to in the form of mechanical energy being lost - the transmission would be glowing hotter than the turbo .
