Hi Jase, the RR operator should disconnect the rear wheels for TT's, S3's etc... to give more reliable figures.

Even then you might not get the actual figure, mine was healthy and with a stage 1 map only gave a headline figure of 226bhp on a Dyno Dynamics RR. The run was done with the fuse pulled on the Haldex.

As was pointed out at the time - 2wd with 4wd losses.

So how is one supposed to get an actual power read out? Can you use Vag-Com to do one?

You can get an approximate figure using VAG-COM measuring the MAF reading - divide by 0.8 to get approx bhp.
