Because of the variation or differance between the AT and IT it will give an over corrected figure.  If the ambient air temp is 25' then where is the intake air at 56' coming from?  The car will be sucking in almost similar temp are as the ambient.

I'm not going to get into another debate about dyno's, I'm quite sick of it tbh.  Dyno operators are either not operating them properly or they are unreliable dyno's.  Either way people are getting ripped off.

I know what I know and that's good enough for me, I have seen how they dyno's can be 'made' to give a reading which is almost as bad as entering the wrong information for the compensation calculation, after all the computer will only compute the information it is given.

As for figures quoted by REVO, well that is a whole other story!!

I'm not desputing what our saying, i know myself that figure can be made to read what they want when they want. But my point is i find it coinsidental that the power figure achived was very close to what CUK estimated and the Dyno opperator didn't know what the car had done.

Figures quoted by Revo as a company i cannot comment on. but i'm dealing with one guy, and TBH, he says himself that the figures my car got today on a mah ha dyno are only an indication - not a tur comparison.
It'll be interesting to compare the pub talk figures achived on the DD Dyno when i pick it back up.

TBH, figures are figures.....little more..... it's how it goes that i'm more interested in.

It'll be food for thought  :smiley:

Ohh, a possibilty of the high intake temp could be me drviing like a bat outta hell as i was late getting to the rollers then not leaving it running while they strapped it down on the Dyno ??

Just been thinking about possible high intake causes ?!  :smiley:

They fitted and adapted the DPF removal pipe. The Milteck pipe didn't fit the std system as it was supossed to.

Corey has done a good job.

He sorted out having Revo use my car for the development for the DPF by-pass maps.
Origionaly i was going to persivere with Chipped Uk, but there is only so many times that i can be arsed to chase them time after time  :happy2:

Yup......i ran it for a week on the CUK fast road map, and TBH, i never saw one CEL light.

TBH, i've never had any CEL issues at all. I was expecting it to come on but nope....been fine all the way.

I did about 1200 miles without it on BTW
