Nice flat torque curve, power made to redline. ![http://i1.tinypic.com/mhwzz6.jpg](http://i1.tinypic.com/mhwzz6.jpg) Pump gas @ a booming 6.5psi. ---

:shrug: Sounds about right to me. Someone else would know better. That was a new unit when installed, not an off the shelf eaton either. ---

Thanks :tup: And for all the honda BOIS out there that like to talk smack about reliability, the car was originally supercharged at 65k, it now has ~120k on it, and it’s never had a problem, and runs as strong as day 1. ---

> [@fairgentleman Z](#): > > 22% drivetrain lose? loss perhaps. Between 22% and 28% seem to be the generally “accepted” drivetrain losses for a 5sp quattro car. I’m just posting the plot though, I’m sure I’ve posted my views on dynos and bench racing before. ---

wow. u really never see people trying to get any real extra performance out of audi’s NA v6s. that is really cool!:word: i hear ya on quattro’s parasitic drivetrain losses. try having 130 horsepower in a car that only weights 200 lbs less than yours. it’s just the price you pay for having a tough as nails driveline.
