The Making of "Evil Spirit"

Thanks for the input!

I am changing the plugs today, so I will inspect them then. I am going to wrap my knock sensor today as well. Yeah, I have been taking a big chance with that fuel pump, new one is on the way! I wasn't able to "datalog" the scanner because I accidentally cut the DB-9 cable and wasn't able to "print" the event. I was hold the scanner and reading knock but I can't say for sure how many times it was in what gear.

Both Larry and Extremepickup said it looks like my cam timing maybe off as my turbo is coming on about 800rpms late and my power starts falling after 6200rpms. The head has been shaved twice, I should have used a thicker HG. I am going to get some cam gears though.

Lastly, I think their dyno reads low numbers. I have two other friends that went to their dyno and then another, nothing changed, and put down better numbers. Could be because it's a AWD dyno?

dynos use a different calculation on awd cars. I know some people claim certain dynos (dynapack, which I will probably use in the future) read high for AWD cars and normal for other cars. I dont really believe that though, I just think the operators are fudging with correction factors.

My first dyno was with a dynapack and my next one will be back on there.

The only "catch" is......

Rioght wrong or otherwise (we could ebate which dynos are "best" forever), the lions share of dyno runs out there have been on Dynojets. So, if you want to be able to compare your car to others and see what might be amiss or not, its easier to do this if your runs are on a Dynojet.

Good point. The main reason I was doing the dynapack next was because EXTREME raped me on the dyno cost. My friend told me it was 75 for 3 pulls, the going rate around here. It was actually 100 for 3 pulls and they couldn't hook the WB02 to my car! I should have asked first!

My last dynapack was the usual 75. However, I have since found a place that is 55 for 3 pulls with Wideband on a dynojet. They are a reputable VW/Audi shop.
