Hi guys,

Chatted with the guys at MMS (Dean) , layed out the points for him, he addressed them all, which I was happy with.

Should of called them up before posting this though, but hey that's what you get when you are on the forums at midnight and get a little paranoid.

Bottom end, the guys at MMS know what they are doing and are very professional. Ecutek by the way does not prevent Subaru from reading the ecu and or running diagnostics.

Anyways it drives a hell of a lot better sounds the meanest and puts a smile on my face.

If I would do it all again I would do it at MMS again and I'll be going there for future things (I keep telling myself this is the first and only mod ).

Guys there are friendly and despite me being an ass they have been professional. Hats off guys.

Anyways thanks for the help guys, and remember ring your tuner before posting. Newbie mistake I guess.

Until next time.

So what did they say or explain to you? Because basically i was wondering the exact same things as you. Like i couldn't understand how factory stock subaru claim to be 195kw, then after my tbe and tune it read 170kw... It's definitely quicker than before by heaps and much smoother. So i just don't get it... I know there's different ways to read KW (wheels, engine, hubs etc) but i don't understand how to convert them...

All car manufactures quote power at the engine. This is worthless or just a guide to what a car can do.

Power (well torque actually) at the wheels is what makes you go fast. On an AWD car it's probably about 80% of the engine power. On a RWD car it's probably about 90% of the engine power.

A hub dyno removes the wheels as they add in extra inconsistencies, but by removing the wheels, they give a slighlty higher figure than a roller dyno.

Always use a dyno as a tool. Set a baseline. Don't get your knickers in a knot because someone in America with the same mods made 3hp more than you. They all vary, look only at your baseline. Once you have that compare any future mods and dyno runs to that baseline.

If you want a 1000hp dyno plot, find someone with a dyno dynamics dyno, slip the operator $50 and make sure he has a hot cup of coffee to drink when you do your run.
