One thing to note about the testing done here, We tested it with a stand alone and I am not sure what ECU was used when they did their test. With a stock ECU, way to many variables are introduced and its just not very accurate. Once this thing was installed on the stock ECU no matter what load point it is at, It will either go rich or lean if the manifold actually makes a difference. With the stock ECU it may get to a different load point which is probably automatically going to change the tune from pull to pull.

RE: DynoJets: If you don't like dynojet number bashing, calibrate them so they produce realistic and accurate numbers.
Just remember weather you like it or not (I suspect you and others prob don't care), Dynojet numbers (and high CFs) are laughed at outside the USA and the results unfortunately have little or no credibility outside on the USA.
Thumbs up to the workshops who don't use high CFs and provide there customers true power output results, and don't try and match other workshop who quite frankly fudge results.
And GO THE CAPS LOCK

FQ400, The reason DJs are the most common and the "standard" for people in the US is because you can't calibrate them to show anything different. They ALL read very similar and you can't manipulate them to read a different CF. If you use a SAE or Standard CF it states it on the sheet whereas Mustangs and Dyno Dynamics don't visible show the CF.
Your arguing is pointless.

Heres some testing I found on a stock IX turbo. A little more modest gains

Years ago, I had a workshop tune my car, they fudged the dyno results... i was happy to begin with, until i ran the 1/4mile and took the car to get checked at another workshop and found it was 51whp down. (DD whp...)
Everyone then knew the workshop fudged numbers and guess what, people stopped using that workshop and its now closed.

Dynojet IS.
A dynojet can not be manipulated and prints if a CF was used or not. And all dynojets across the US read very similar.
MD and DD can EASILY be manipulated and they all read different.

So how much power does your FQ400 make on a Dynodynamics or Mustang Dyno? Since it is rated at a 400hp at the crank you should be seeing a number close to 400 minus drivetrain losses. If you believe in 20% loss it would do 320whp and 15% would be 340whp.
