Got a slight problem,had a rolling road day a few weeks back and I had a reading of 144.1 hp which I thought was pretty poor considering I've got a standard engine with just a k and n in standard airbox with magnex full system (3" .can anyone help me with this situation? |

Assuming it's had a good service (i.e. oil, spark plugs, filters etc) then it's pressure test time. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Cable is free and in proper location (phase 3 way),haven't had cams checked.its odd as a friend of mine had a 6 and pretty much left it behind,would the decat help as the guy at the rolling road said it smelt as if it was over fueling? |

More often than not when you're getting silly figures it's a s**t rolling road. Is that a possibility? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Almost certainly that then. No point chasing phantom losses until you're sure there's a problem  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Tbh rolling roads are pointless unless you're there real-time mapping a 500bhp evo or something forced induction where you can see real gains. They're not particularly accurate on piddly little cars like ours, and all you're really paying for it a graph telling you what you already know. And you could just do that in Excel if you were that bothered  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I reckon there's nothing wrong with your car until you know otherwise. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Yeah.Tbh with a power reading that bad if it was true it would probably do 0-60 in like high 8 seconds? I'm sure you would feel. "Oh hang on, my hot hatch feels like a f**king bus." ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Mate seriously, you need to *know* before you start chasing phantom issues. Give it a service, if you don't think there's a problem then there's probably not a problem. If you were happy with it the day before the rolling road, why the problem now? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
