I can't see for any reason why it couldn't make 180 either 
I would say with some degree of certainty that the dyno will be measuring PS figures. The HP we use here is basically never used in the auto industry. Whether it's labelled BHP or PS or HP is irrelevant - they are all used interchangeably.As Alex (who isnt called Alex
This.
Powerstation ran the car and it got 180.1bhp, as did another totally different RR a year before.
@Fox - They use my same engine with the same turbo and get 180bhp~ out of the Abarth Punto SS iirc.

You dont have an Abarth.

Are you deliberately being awkward Fox?

I'm just trying to point out that perhaps the results he got are not a world away from being accurate thats all. 160bhp seems pretty good?

for a 150bhp turbo thats been remapped ?
i'd say only 10bhp from a turbo remap is pretty poor tbh.

Remap and induction, that has got 180bhp on 2 totally different RR's in the past 2 years.
Nearly all 1.4Tjet 150's get 180bhp~ from a remap and induction.
I have a before and after RR when the tuning was done and it's 30bhp up, and they are 150bhp as standard. I then had it put on at Powerstation at last years RR and got 180bhp again.
The lower power variant has a totally different turbo (120bhp) or no turbo at all (90bhp).

If you work out the output per litre its far from stressed for a turbo application.
Depends what your point of reference is. For a standard production hatchback it's close. Let's do some comparisons:
Focus ST: 90 HP/L
Focus RS: 122 HP/L
Mazda3 MPS: 113 HP/L
BMW 335i: 102 HP/L
1.4 with 150HP: 107 HP/L
1.4 with 180HP: 129 HP/L
Saab 9-5 Aero: 107 HP/L

As standard 107 per litre is nothing. Factor in what those cars can get with a remap etc then compare.

Or mine... 
Is that a serious comment? You are comparing a Fiat Punto to an Evo. Congratulations - that was completely pointless. The BMW F1 engine in 1983 was producing 600 HP/L. Why doesn't Gaijin's Evo produce 1200 HP? It's perfect acceptable for a turbo engine!

That's the post that confuses me, originally you thought that the remap had been wiped, hence the low power reading, before others started thinking that their readings were also low.
How can you not tell if your car is no longer mapped or not you must've had some inkling to come to that conclusion in the first place before the convenience of blaming the RR?
