It never makes claims based off an average increase...the only thing some of them do is post dyno charts, but even those can be a finaggled. And, Dyno runs have a fault in that they show results only under wide-open throttle, and not under a given throttle condition or varying engine load...or going down the road at 45MPH (overall efficiency increases) - or accelleration between 45 and 75.... For example, a turbo can boost top-end HP by a TON under WOT conditions, at a given RPM or above. Looks great on paper - makes 700WHP. However, the torque curve is jacked, and from 3K and below, it makes less HP... All I know is that the more air (and fuel at the correct ratio and dispertion) I get through an engine, the more power it will make. |
