I have included a few graphs from the dyno day. The power is quite staggering to me at any rate and when you compare my old mk1 you can see why I wanted one of these cars. Just amazing.
As ever I have to thank John for scanning the AVA dyno sheet as I do not have a scanner at home. Cheers buddy. John also provided an Excel file that had all the info plotted on the one graph. I have however modified the original to show only power versus torque and then power versus boost pressure (psi). I think the original graph was too busy to really see what was happening.
One thing that is slightly worrying is the intake temp which hit 140° C on the first run which is just outrageous. However it was a really hot day and also a static dyno so the temps were a little higher than you would expect on the road. Not that I have managed to prove it either way.
Update on this. I attached a Digital multimeter to a custom thermocouple and have found that even on a stinking hot day on the road driving using the performance the intake temps stayed below 45° C. In fact the only time it really exceeds this is sitting in traffic doing zero mph. Plan is to wire in two display for temps, one for intake at the throttle body and the other for the exhaust gas. Likely put in an oil temp gauge as well though I reckon an oil pressure gauge is more useful. Ho hum.

This is a comparison of my two previous cars both mr2's. The turbo wins on sheer torque alone with over twice as much throughout most of the rev range, but the mk1 was amazing to drive.
