RR's are easily fooled.  fact.

Theres very very little possible way for the stock injectors to run that much power.  Even the stock MAF couldnt flow it.

Sounds like you dont even have a forge actuator on yet?

To be fair Chris had the MAF, injectors and fuel pump fitted to get that power.

Injectors and MAF can be had from eBay, also pump. There is a how to on here on how to fit one

Yes and i know that but most people are still gonna go by those figures because if u cant go by that or vagcom logs what can you go by?? how will you know what you've got? No point saying u cant get those figures by having a standard maf and standard injectors etc every car is different as u know some will map better than others, for all i know i could have uprated injectors who knows??. I read your post on club gti and not alot of people believe your figures but its what you've been rolled at and what you believe mate. I got a standard actuator on it aint uprated it yet , doesnt really matter to me if its running 225 or 240 just trying to see if i can get those torque figures up if i cant then i'll stick with what i have.

The thing is with the rollers mate is that many in the country read over but you will see chris had his done at r tech and they are know to have a very good (true) and reliable dyno.

The thing with the standard maf and injectors is that they cant physically get enough fuel/air into the engine to make them figures, no matter how well te engine takes to te tuning so no you can't get them figures.

You should uprate your actuator really as you may struggle to hold boost which will in turn lower both your power and torque.

And when you say you don't car about the power only the torque that seems a little daft really. Torque relates to power via a equation which includes torque and rpm so of you had loads of torque but not much power it would mean that your peakin torque low down the rpm but then loosing it all, which would be rubbish to drive. but if you held it the higher up the rpm range your power would also go up. So it's not just about getting a high peak torque figure its about getting and holding it as high as possible whih would in turn increase your power ....
