It was my first time and i am somewhat disapointed with my numbers but the car was having boost issues.I have an intake, Turbo back 3" exhaust with highflow cat, and a mbc set at 9 psi. The boost would spike to 9 then drop to 6 at higher rpm's :3d_frown:. Im not sure if its my mbc or a boost leak but i will be investigating it this week. Well here are the numbers (sorry i couldn't get a clear picture of the on the dyno sheet so i will type everything out)
1st run:Max Power = 208.6(hp)@5050(RPM), Max torque=237.0(ft.lbs)@4250(RPM)
2nd run:Max Power = 204.9(hp)@5100(RPM), Max torque=248.1(ft.lbs)@3950(RPM)
3rd run:Max Power = 202.5(hp)@4950(RPM), Max torque=236.0(ft.lbs)@4150(RPM)

Here is a crappy cell phone pic just to show the graph:

Not bad at all man. You know what , I could never get my MBC to hold boost. It could be something as small as a boost leak or wastegate not working properly. Good number man, find that problem and take it to the dyno again...
