There is a lot about the dyno readings at high elevation, however I have made many other turbo kits based on the same dyno and numbers. The Proteges 2.0 gave us 158 whp here in Bogota and gave us 211 WHP in all dynos in the US at sea level. Miami, Los Angeles, Dallas, everywhere where all customers dyno their cars they have the same readings (close) with our protege kit. Now if we apply the the 1.32 factor it comes very close.
Now the Dyno video shows all other runs that we made before so we can acctually compare between all modifications. There was the stock dyno at 233 WHP (best among all stock dynos), then the dyno with the turbo upgrade and stock intercooler and stock exhaust at 331 at 13.5 psi of boost (dyno reading 9.5 psi because it reads Absolute pressure) and then the runs with the exhaust, front mounted intercooler and COBB programmer to raise the raise the boost and adjust fuel properly.
If the dyno lies, how come we made 233, 225 and 218 WHP on the stock car? What is the Mazspeed 3 dyno at sea level?
I dyno cars every day and most of these cars are turbo cars. The SAE dyno readings are very close to the sea level readings in all VWs. Minis, Audis, Mazdas and all other factory turbo cars.
We have a few Mazda 3 with turbo making mid and low 11 second runs with GT35R turbos in the 2.3 and 2.0 liter engines and the same setup we did in the Mazdaspeed 3. The car will be forged and tested to the limit and will hit the track to show its potential. The day will come.
And yes, there is XENON in Puerto Rico running 11.0 at the 1/4 mile with his 2.3 liter mazda 3.
I will try to be back on the forums more often. I have been so busy that only have a few time to spend with my kids.
