if my car has 188bhp at the fly wheel what bhp is at the wheels--here is the graph after the new turbo was fitted-bit confused the top figure says 177.86 to 180.85 what is this figure!Then at the botttom it says 186.85 to 188.57 which is the true figure at the fly wheel and what bhp at the wheels

i read somewhere that FWD cars lose 15% in transmissions losses, that would give you about 159 at the wheels

the top figure is wheel figure, the clutch figure at the bottom is the flywheel figure
