Nice comparison at the end, Alan! I wish I did a little more research before going with the Vargas, but it's not like I'm displeased with it. She's still a super fun daily to drive; getting +400HP on eth blends!
91 octane + high altitude. Two painful realities working against the power production… (Edge is located in CO, way up in the clouds). These are actually really good numbers given those limitations. That’s also a very smooth torque and power curve he finished with. 💪 🍻 🍺
@@GolfCoyote Yup. @ Sea level. Here's the science behind it, taken from a tech article on Garrett Motion (I'd post the link here, but then YT's bots flag it as a spam threat): "Contrary to belief, the higher you are in elevation the less atmospheric pressure you experience. That said, oxygen levels at any set volume (a breath of air, or an engine cycle) at sea level contain more oxygen then the same (breath of air, or an engine cycle) at a higher elevation. The chart below shows how pressure changes with elevation. The higher the ambient pressure (psia), the more oxygen it contains. As a general rule, a naturally aspirated combustion engine will lose 3% of its power for every 1,000 ft of elevation gain. If you have 100 horsepower at sea level by the time you get to 5,000 feet of elevation your engine is making 85 horsepower. At 10,000 feet of elevation your engine will make 70 horsepower. At 15,000 feet of elevation your engine will make 55 horsepower. At 15,000 feet of elevation your engine will lose 45% of its power due to lower air density."

Getting much more comfortable on camera, Alan. Good video.
If you get any TPC ball bearing turbo MK7 GTIs in, let's see what those make for power.
I would not figured it getting that high, cool set up.

Yeah the Vargas is no slouch at all! They are very similar and that mid range variation is the only difference, really. Glad you are enjoying yours!
Dumb question but how are the rear wheels turning on the dyno since the GTI is FWD?
This is a linked dyno, so it can run AWD and FWD cars, and the two axles are always linked
My exact question after a few moments passed, my response answer lol
Do you have a Garett power max comparison?
So will that maf sensor stop my k04 mk6 gti stock sensor from going out due to a lot more boost? It’s happened 2 times to me in about 6 months
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in
I know dynos are just a tool, but it seems like the power is still low considering EQT advertises 450-480whp on pump.
Looks like they’re on an awd dyno so the numbers might be a bit lower
Altitude plays a huge part.

@@TheTexican05 I suppose so. I made 446whp on pump gas with only a HPFP granted at sea level with a Vortex standard.

Is the car on 17’s or 18’s?
Those are 18 inch Neuspeed RSE10s, in hyper black. 😎 19lbs each.
Who did his install
We actually didn't ask... sorry!
Underpowered ALOT!!
