Stu Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I wouldn't get too hung up on the bhp thing.. rolling roads aren't really accurate/repeatable to give you the right numbers.. most over-read.. so you're likely to see your 150bhp figure... just as much as a standard 115ps Escort might read 125bhp.. or as the crowds like to say "oooh that's a strong one!!".. right..

Well we'll wait and see what the results are, you can start a topic with 'my mk5 xr31 150bhp' without someone wanting a dyno how ever pointless you say it is.
