> Well recently 2 automatic people wanted to purchase our turbo kits, so we made an auto kit for the Scion tC and we revised the Honda Civic D17 kit to fit both cars…We provided the entire receipe for power and let them run. Low and behold, they made some quite respectable gains on small boost (both on 5 PSI).

You do realize a dyno measures torque directly and calculates the HP number based on the torque and acceleration
