I've edited my previous post in the last 15 mins - so just check that in case there is something else that might be handy to know.
Thank god you have the manual gearbox - it's the only gearbox they should allow you to buy. DSG is so boring.
The dyno operator will generally run the car until redline/cut out, but the k04 is over and done with by about 6,200rpm anyway......although you have ported/hi flowed yours havent you....you might have some more RPM to play with.
Also, regarding correction factors, you can see from the links i provided what they use in Australia (SAE J607), not sure if this same factor applies in the US (and depends on location in regards to sea level etc) though. I live on the coast (at sea level or with a few metres of it).
Yea, manual is the only way for me and I have an uprated clutch.
My K04 is ported and polished so we'll see, I wouldn't want to go above 6,500 to be safe, already had one engine blow up. I'll ask them about correction factors.
-set to derived torque
-set ramp rate (6mph per second)
-check for correction factors (SAE J607)
Oh - if you have a valved exhaust (i don't think the GTI's do from memory - but can be an issue on the Golf R's) make sure they put the a/f ratio probe up the left hand side (your drivers side) pipe which is always open for a more realistic reading.
Not sure if the valved exhaust applies to the GTI's, so apologies if im talking jibberish.
GTI's don't have valved exhausts like the Golf R's. My EuroJet TBE is straight 3". There are some companies like BCS Tuning which are offering valved exhausts for the GTI market now.
