Stripped track car (13B-REW street port) Garrett single turbo 1.3bar
1> 1180kg (432rwhp DD! owners dyno shop estimates 509bhp!!!!!!!)
100kmh-200kmh = 8.3 seconds


Road car (13B-REW stock) Garrett single turbo 1.3bar
2> 1380kg (275rwkw "real power measure!" owner estimates honest 430bhp in this test)
100kmh-200kmh = 8.2 seconds


(same number of gearshifts, same OEM gearbox, same shift points.........) *both at sea level and std temp and pressure day* You do the maths power curve on one is far superior, but also some dyno figures are not worth the paper they are printed on
Unless those dyno's are certified accurate and the paper they print out shows not only the peak power and torque, but everything else such as the torque curve and what not.
