Yes and it made 375 WTQ at redline. Its not all about "peak" numbers. There was a gain of 350 WTQ from 2000 RPM to 4000 RPM, how much faster do you want the power to come on and having 375 at redline is just crazy nuts.
Now we are compairing it to a 50 trim? The 50 trim has a bigger compressor housing, bigger AR housing so it should be able to produce better numbers. This is the little tiny stage 3 turbo we are talking about here. Its making very close to 500 WHP if you use the conversion factor that others have used when converting over to dynojet numbers. Now I will more likely then not get flammed for that comment but I have heard of others converting numbers so I will for purposes of showing how "MUCH" we could be making.
the point of my post was, you took away the quick spooling aspect of the S3 that makes it so desirable imo, to give it numbers similar to what a stock (ie untouched) 50 makes. If you look at the two dyno graphs, they are very similar in spool time and power.
btw, my car only made 363whp and 347lbs/tq, and has trapped 128 and run a 11.2, so dyno's mean nothing to me.
