Not to mention the ability to gain or lose upwards of 20whp depending on tire pressure or how tight the straps are. We use a hub dyno to eliminate these variables and keep things consistent.
Would love to have seen some stock figures to compare the gains to.

Not to mention that Hub Dyno is not wheel HP.

I'm bumping this semi-dusty thread, instead of starting a new one. I'm stage 2 with the mods in my sig, and I've got an appointment at MD Automotive in Westminster CA at noon tomorrow with their Dynojet Dyno. I'm going here because a well known auto-webzine dynoed their long term MK6 GTI there, so that 'kinda' gives me a baseline http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtests/2010/10/dyno-testing-the-2010-mazdaspeed-3-and-2010-volkswagen-gti.html.
My mods should put me near the 240whp mark, I hope. This dyno tomorrow will be my baseline to compare to, when I go K04 sometime later this year. Lots of stage 2 dynos out there, so maybe this is of interest to only me
Wish me luck, as in I hope I don't find out that I've been running with a boost leak the last 8 months!

ha true.. its more like a cross between engine and wheels. cuz you're not carrying the weight of the wheels also. So I would think a hub dyno will have higher numbers.

Welp. Expectations were met. I came in about where I expected. Temps were 75F, 50% humidity, my front tires were 38psi on the dot, 3 runs done back to back with about 20-30 secs in between. The numbers are SAE corrected and smoothed.
First run was best, and 3rd run worst, but the numbers are very consistent. Confirms 3 things for me: 1) I have no boost leak or soft codes related to fuel pressure :thumbsup: 2) even in relatively mild conditions, without adequate airflow, heat is a killer - I should've gone bigger on the intercooler
On the freeway, with enough flow, not an issue; 3) Don't short shift, wring it out to near 7K for best performance in roll races! 
After K04, I will wait for similar temps and dyno again at the same shop.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention: I'm on stock clutch, been APR stg 2 for, oh 8 mths or so. Will upgrade that soon, but maybe not before the K04... Some Work or Volk wheels may be in my future if things pan out...
My memory is shot. Forgot to mention I was running 91 oct/tune, V1.2.

Exactly. Any kind of stop and go for more than a few miles and when challenged at a stop light I feel like popeye who hasn't had his spinach. A strapping dude, but nowhere near a superhero. Heatsoak FTL.
