Went to AMD today for a rolling road check up to see how the car is performing, here are the results.

First run: Power: 495.4hp at the flywheel, 405hp at the wheels. Torque 478.9 lb/ft @ 4554 Rpm
Second run: 507hp at the flywheel, 419.7hp at the wheels. Torque 471.2 lb/ft @ 4587 Rpm

Am quite pleased the car for the first time actually made 507hp!!

Fantastic figures and must pull really well with them torque figures

Hi mate, it was a bit cooler but the real difference was the fact that I was running 1.17 bar of boost at the rolling road day and yesterday I was running 1.25 bar, which is where I will now be leaving the boost at, thats really the reason for the 507 bhp @ 4587 rpm.

If you check the bottom of the graph where it says POWER DATA, it actually reaches 514.2 @ 6448 rpm.

I agree with you about the torque figures, they are important when it comes to acceleration and bhp is what gets you to and maintains you achieving top speed.

Hi Frank, no this is with the GT35 turbo, I upgraded to this when the car was converted to DSG, around 12000 miles ago.
