| Soz dude, din make it home til late last nite so no motivation to get back infront of a screen. |

| The latter. The 'B' is sacraligious to the Porsche family. I guessed ur's was as soon as you mentioned Al Naboodah. |

| Anyone knows where one could find a GOOD dyno shop? Not something stupid that gives flywheel power, but whp (wheel horse power), perferrably with a widband AFR readout. So far, Al Naboodah has one, but without a wideband read out.... |

| Any roller dyno gives you ATW kw/hp. An engine dyno will only be able to give a calculated ATW figure. And any 'tuning' shop tinkering with a tune without using a wideband might as well get set for a rebuild. |

| Looks like we speak the same language..... I have an Innovative wideband installed in my car, i have a piggyback/fuel controller and dialed in a nice AFR. Thing is, i want to know how much i got there on the wheels...... Comparing two AFR charts would be nice (one installed on the car and one on the dyno). |

| Ah, so basically after a power run. I know of a shop but it's in Kedron. You need 2w or 4w dyno? Are you comparing the charts to verify accuracy/consistency? If so you'd need similar spec wideband attached to the dyno to get apples - apples results. |

| At the moment, i am looking for a power run, it is a 2wd dyno run as well. But if their prices/per hour is good, then i would always use them when i start upgrading the turbocharger, intake, bigger injectors etc.... Then i get into timing....that is where i need the dyno run(s) |

| I'll get the details when I'm home and email to ya mate. |

| Thanks.... By the way, i like you're Porsche. Is it a Boxster or 911? Note: My car is a Porsche as well....a 1986 944 Turbo that just blasts away with fury :D |

| LOL..... Yeah, i was tipped off by the Audi center since i was picking up a seal (interchanRIELle parts between VW/Audi and Porsche). They don't have a clue what i wide band is....and say everything is 'at the owners risk'. When he saw the gauges in my car, he called me a ricer. I then informed him that by having a 20 year old car, that can out-perform new M3's, Corvettes etc needs constant care and attention. You can never have enough monitoring equippment in a car, better to keep an eye on things as wait for disaster to happen. |
