Fred, I have everything you have done to your motor except that I have stock sized pistons... the balancing is more for smooth running up high and the forged pistons don't give hp or torque. So, anyways, I have about 134 or so HP at the wheels according to Dynojet. That translates to 157@15% and 163@18% eff. losses. When I called the Neuspeed tech department, they told me that a typical VW loses around 18% and that is what they use for their wheel to crank conversions. I imagine Neuspeed probably knows their stuff! There was another guy in the dyno group who had nearly the same stuff as me but he also had his engine balanced and blueprinted... he put out 138 at the wheels. I just wish I could have dyno'd my car without a broken clutch and all those large chunks of material floating around in there! I would imagine your car is putting out about 160-165 hp is everything is working properly. Later, Clayton

I suspect, optimistically, that hp is atleast 190-195 at the crank. With: 2035cc,balanced,RPI port/polished head,shrick 256's,head may be decked a little,garrett custom chip,K&N,drilled box,JE Forged pistons,SuperSprint dual-downpipe(noncat) and TT exhaust. I may be optimistic about but oh well. Holland, feel free to bring me down on this. I want to add 268's, 50mm intake and a Hannaford stage 3 head (claims 35hp!!). I also hace a 3.89 r&p and lightened flywheel.
