I know someone that had an 8P S3 with Stage 1 Software, Panel Filter and Milltek Downpipe that made circa 330hp and strong torque on the rollers at Surrey Rolling Road. Wouldn't call that pointless.

was only joking mate :signLOL:
Thought I would get a couple of bites with that one :grin:
I totally agree, its a dyno lottery anyway. At least you get an idea if your car is running properly etc. My last car was dynod on DD rollers, and found that it wasnt running right, and I sorted the problem, so it was a good fault finding tool.
The good old saying that they are designed more for setting up and live mapping cars, than they are for a precise measuring tool can also be said.
Just like the motorscope day when the rs focus bloke found out he paid £2500 for a mountune tuning package, that actually produced 20 bhp less than a standard RS focus with a panel filter on the same day etc etc

why do they give away free horsepower in doggy bags do they??? someone on here with a cupra, left a previous RR day(Think it was surreys DD rollers) and went straight to another set of rollers to get new figures which were nearer to his willy waiving claims :grin: :grin:
if your car makes good figures on a DD roller, you know that your car is running well. as it happens every DD roller that i have been on makes pretty much identical figures to what i make on JKMs

My Stage 1 ED30 made 296.8bhp on RS Tunings DD's, so....... should I get the same/very similar figure then at JKM (which I'm 270 miles away from) ?

You should so long as the variables are the same, the Dyno is operated properly and you use similar fuel. On the bottom of a DD graph is a set of variables which can be replicated on another dyno.
Not lashing the car down properly is another way to 'vary' the reported output.
