Dyno Log..opinions welcomed

Took the car today to a MAHA LPS 3000 Dyno to see the output after finally soritng out tyhe clutch issue.

Some say ignorance is a bliss…you will see why.

The car has the following mods/works recently done:

  1. Revolution Pipercross intake
  2. Cold Air Feed
  3. Gutted pre-cats
  4. Forge Oil Cooler
  5. JHM spacers
  6. Manifold separators removed
  7. Carbon cleaned about 2k kms ago
  8. New spark plugs
  9. New Oil and gas filters
  10. New diff oil
  11. LOBA Sachs Stage 2 clutch kit

The gutted pre-cats were done about 400kms ago.

Well it did 363hp and 359Nm/6365rpm :thumbsdown:

Attahced you can see the graph (apologies for the terrible quality as their printer had run out of ink).

In addition you can see the log with VCDS.

Obvious remarks are very low timing (BTDC) of max 28 and really low RPM/Sec. Despite not pulling too mich timing on high IAT of ca 55-58 degrees Celcius. The Mass Air flow look ok i gues at ca 332gr/sec.

So the question is why so low timing and so low torque? What was holding the car back?

To be quite honest with the mods in place I expected soemthing in the range of 380-390hp and a far better torque.
The guy at the dyno suggested that MAHA dyno’s are quite strict on the 4WD Audis due to Torsen and I should adjust upwards the output by some 10%, ie 363x1.10= 393.

I have no idea whether this is true or just something to make me feel better… :?

Any ideas please as to what might be the cause of this restriction? You can obviously feel that the car is not puling as hard as it could…
