It makes a great gift!
I borrowed one from another qlister to test my stock chip vs the mtm
chip in my A4 turboq. Since I've quit modding my car (for now), the
novelty had worn off.

Interesting that you got 6.6 to 6.8. 

As it has been explained to me, the suspension (dive, squat) can affect
the results. My A4 had the faux sport pack and wallows a bit.
My hp results were screwed- used a heavier weight as input.

I'd suggest it if you are tweaking a car and want to see the end results
right now. Otherwise, its just a neat toy to have.
