Ed - From reading online, it sounds like this might be a load-type dyno, which would explain the lower than expected figures, as you suggested.

I'm travelling interstate for a week but when I get back the transmission gremlin should hopefully be sorted.

Don't worry about dyno numbers.....
It sounds like you are initially making a great deal of power.

Get yourself a G-Tech accelerometer so you can obtain real world acceleration times.

My guess is you should be sub five second 0-60 with your engine mods.

Keep us posted and maybe you'll convince others that the TT I-6 is as good if not better then a NA AMG V8 !!!!

Good Luck
