I went to the CP rolling road day at Aldon yesterday and decided to put my mk2 1473cc on the rollers. It's not setup properly by a long shot, but after sorting out a slack brv linkage last week and feeling quite rampant on the way down, I decided to see what benchmark figure it could get for an improvment on.
179bhp and ~170 lb/ft torque was a bit of a surprise. Apart from a full JPPP exhaust system and 'worked' engine, its only producing 8-9psi boost, on a SNS stage 5 off the shelf chip, standard throttle body and intercooler

It was still pulling top end, so they ran it again to over 7k rpm and it got over 180bhp, but they didn't save the plot (maybe because you only pay for one power run at Aldon?)
Well pleased
Just need to sort out a custom map now and refit my G40 gearbox avec Quaife diff.
