So twis4estate, otherwise known as the ballerina Reid Coe, a notorious liar, made this statement today.
[quote]If you don’t believe me, I spoke with a gentlement(sic) who works at the audi dealership of said JHM benchmark car. He described the differences between the old kit the car had (APR 1320 kit even less power) and now the JHM Intercooled kit. He said both are fun but the roots type blower had much more low end torque and was a better daily driver.

Well, he didn’t actually make it…he claims that a service employee at a Detroit area Audi dealership made this comment. About his car? No. About another customer’s car.
First off, that’s a pretty fucking weird thing to say.
Second off, why the fuck is the dealership doing comparison testing of customers’ cars? Are they writing a magazine and doing road tests on the side???
Third, why is this dealership employee sharing his thoughts and opinions on a valued customer’s car with some random fucking tweeker who drives a 15 year old shitbox???
Fourth, when did the dealership employee drive the car in JHM stage 2 guise? Didn’t tweets claim that the car had a blown motor when it was at the dealership? Of course we know it was fine and just had a fuelling issue which was fixed by a JHM employee, but still…funny shit. Sounds like tweets’ lies are piling up.
Anyway, here’s a dyno plot of an APR TVSr1320 supercharged RS4. 93 octane. 365 wtq peak. This is on APR’s hub dyno which we know tends to read a little less drivetrain loss than a traditional ‘at the wheels’ dyno. Still, considering all motor RS4s with JHM exhaust and tune alone have dyno’d anywhere from 310-320 wtq…this means that if the ballerina’s ridiculous statements are accurate, JHM stage 2 93 octane, which has made a dozen low 11 second passes, and has made a dozen 125+ MPH passes…is only adding 40 wtq to a tune/exhaust car.
And in fact, even less…since it was “much less”…enough that a dealership employee (who is likely about to have his ass turned inside out when the word gets to his boss that he’s joy-riding a valuable customer’s car, and then telling stories about it to random punks) was able to notice a discernible difference, and comment that it is much less torque and less enjoyable. What would that be…a 10 wtq difference? 20 wtq less? More?
So could the JHM Stage 2 car that we know goes low 11s @ 125+ MPH really be only making about 330 wtq??? Or does tweekers4estate need his fucking head looked at? That’s a loaded question. Of course he needs his fucking head looked at.
