[BiturboS4] dyno results

[j y]

Hey California,

That data sounds about right given what I've read
about the difference in stated HP (by mfgs) and "at
the wheels" HP as demonstrated on dynos.

I also troll the Porsche Boards (i also own a 951
porsche (944 turbo))and those guys expect a 15-20%
difference btw overlall HP and "at the wheels" HP.

You appear to be somewhere around 16%-17%. If GIAC
claims a top HP of 310 - then - 15% of that is 46.50
HP. Subtract 46 HP from 310 HP (GIAC claim) and the
result is 264 HP "at the wheels." So, 260 HP is
definitely in that neighborhood (statistically).

Just my $.02 from reading so many threads on this
topic on both boards (Porsche & Audi).
