Default Saw your earlier post. What do you think of the data in terms

of accuracy? Do you have another method of gathering data to compare it with ?

OT: I like the new autobahn logo in your sig!

Default From what I've seen, it is quite accurate.

<center><img src="http://www.nogaroblue.com/golf/tdihp.jpg"></center><p>
I tested multiple runs on the same stretch of road with my Golf TDI. All runs were within 3 hp and 5 ft-lbs. The factory rating of the Golf is 105 hp and 184 ft-lbs. Using the G-tech numbers of 83 hp and 150 ft-lbs, that gives you a nice 20% loss on the hp and 19% loss on the torque. Given the number is WHP-aerodynamic and rolling drags, I would have to agree with them. I still wouldn't make any serious claims with it, but it works better than I thought.

My friend and I achieved similar results with his Peugeot as well.

The hardest part is getting the car weight correct and finding a flat stretch of road.

How do you set that thing up? Must be fairly simple since it seems you've done multiple cars.

Default Yes. It retains the settings and calibrations for 4 vehicles. It's also self calibrating unlike

the old one so it doesn't need to be sitting perfectly level in the car. Just hook it up to the cigarette lighter, do a quick 60' calibration, and have at it.

Default Lots of first gen Gtech Pros on sale at Ebay. I bought a brand new on for $35...

It has everything you need for basic measurements. Looking forward to using it this week.
