APR Stage I ECU Upgrade -->*4WD Dyno Test *<--
The Day After....
It seems like not every shop has 4WD Dyno test equipment but thanks to the Google Gods I located a shop in Chatsworth and here is the illustrated report.

<big><b> 3. Audi bondage, I must admit it was very sexy seeing her all tied up </b></big>

<big><b> 4. Final preparations...</b></big>
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/91165/ondyno2.jpg">
<big><b>5. All systems green, Houston..this is APR-1 - requesting permission for takeoff..over.</b></big>
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/91165/preparingtakeoff.jpg">
<big><b> 6. Booster rockets on..Houston..We Have Liftoff!!!</b></big>
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/91165/takeoff.jpg">
And the results are in:
The loss due to the quattro is approximately 25% so that would put it at 175 + 58 = 233 HP which is exactly what APR advertises using 91 octane gas.
Everything is debatable and I am sure there are more technically inclined folks who will flame this post but I am only repeating what the folks at the shop told me.

Thanks for posting...
If you were worried about your torque numbers looking real low, I wouldnt. It looks like the log they gave you starts out at 4750rpms for some reason which will give you accurate hp readings but is beyond the torque peak in a chipped car so you likely would have seen more torque if they did a 2500rpm to redline run. Do you have any of those? Good work. BTW, I would pick up a vag and check your fuel curve. It looks like you are running 11:1 througout the rev band. A bit rich, but better to be rich than lean. cheers! Mike

Mike, how is running reach ..
going to affect the cat performance (lifespan). As far as I understand cat chemical composition design to handle certain air/fuel fixture.
Buy the way what is the word on your car?

It is acutely safe, but in the long term may cause a cat failure..
or buildup on the motor that needs to be corrected. It may reduce performance a tad, but again I would surely rather run rich than lean. I just found out today the car is at the dealership. They are prepping it tomorrow and I am taking it on a road trip that evening to try and pile on some multiple rpm break in miles before the dyno testing begins. We'll have to check it out next week if you'll be around. I'm psyched like a little kid on Christmas. cheers! Mike
