lol @ 56 degree temp difference

Hahaha, pwned. With that power it should run low 12's, I bet it would struggle with a high 12 in reality.

intake temp probe acidentally fell in a cup of coffee

Please explain in English, what are you guys saying????
The first dyno run my wastegate wasn't opening properly so he couldn't tune it.

we will find out sept 6th, I will put money that it will run between a 12.3 and 12.7

The dyno takes into account the high intake temp, resulting in a higher than true power reading. Dodgey way to make your car appear like it has more power.

theres a difference on the intake tempratures, the first graph shows it at 20 degrees, the second one, 76, the only way that happens, is if the car is on fire, or someone is fudging the dyno readings, eg, sticking the temp probe in a kettle..

what having a stupidly high intake temp reading does, is make it seem like the car has more power than it really does..

Cool, well I was told before the tune that the kw's wouldn't change a great deal, if at all. The car would just hold boost alot better, so I don't see why it would be fudged.
I can really notice the difference in the car as well so am happy with what has been done.
Just out of curiosity what is a normal intake temperature?

normal intake temp would be around ambient temperature
though it can go up slightly a few degrees - but not 56 degrees

I would completely ignore the reading from the 2nd dyno figure. You will prolly find its making similar power, just coming on boost alot better/holding more. A dyno will compensate figures due to various factors, intake temp being one of them. It figures than on an extremely hot day - the car makes less power, so it adjusts the figures higher to compensate.

Your first reading was done at 20 degrees, pretty much expected. The 2nd done at 76 degrees... perhaps the probe was resting on the block?

End of the day - its a tuning tool, they used it to get your car much more drivable. As far as the figures go - bout as useful as putting a performance sticker on your back window.
