Driver Motorsport K04+ dyno results
TH3_FRB:
I'm not sure where you got the impression that this wasn't an independent dyno
I have no affiliation with Driver Motorsport...aside from now being a happy customer. This data is from dyno runs I paid for out of my pocket at a local shop I picked. The shop I ran on the dyno at is local to me and had never heard of DM before I came in but they were pretty damn impressed with the results and asked me to put them incontact with DM to tune an Audi RS6 for them. They happen to be an APR dealer which was nice because they flashed me back to stock after my baseline runs on Friday so I could be back Sat to run again with the DM tune.
Full disclosure - DM offered me a trial of sorts - I pay for the programmer up front. After getting the tune I can either decide I'm not satisfied and send the programmer back for a refund and go back to my APR tune or pay the remaining balance and keep the DM tune. This was all knowing that I was planning a dyno comparison and was going to post results on some forums. They obviously felt confident in their product. They were actually a bit anxious after I send initial logs from my APR tune because it runs great - said itr was the best APR K04 logs they've ever seen.

One thing you can never trust is figures when a tuner is comparing x or Y tuners software against their own software on their own Dyno. Many easy ways to fluff results to make yourselves look better.
SHould have dne it an independant dyno IMO.

I have no idea what DM thinks they can do compared to a Euro APR tune. I was simply trying to let you guys know about another tuning option that produced solid results for me. Honestly, I'm prety damn impressed. I always though APR was solid, and they probably are considering it's an "off the shelf" tune that has to work across a broad range of hardware configurations. The big difference here IMO is the customization based on my specific logs. I just loaded my 3rd revision last night and already have a new file waiting for me when I get home.

Are you using a powergate programmer?

Apologies, i misread the OP.

I have no idea what they use to write the tune files but this is what they sent me to load them onto my ECU:
