The results are in boys and girls.
6.2 % increase in top end power. Previous was 73.1 kW, now 77.7kw
But better than that, increased power and torque right across the rev range. Which means the power and torque is useable, and improves the cars performance across the board.
So I am pretty happy with that. Cause unless you go forced induction, you aren't going to get big leaps in power.And they are real numbers, not the addition of manufacturers claims or "I reckons"
More importantly than the numbers, the car is more fun to drive.
The dyno sheet is attached (ignore the Porsche 944 turbo script.. was just there to differentiate the two curves)
Blue equals best run prior to Pipercross, green equals after (we did three runs, each one identical)
