      How many people would provisionally be interested in this if it was to go ahead.

      Most places charge 50e for 2wd dyno runs and 80 for 4wd.

      Obviously I have a place in mind but maybe people have their own suggestions for a decent dyno operator that's fairly central and gives a good printed readout for the glovebox :)

      Anyway vote away.

      Cool is a place dtdirl used recently that looks good will enquire on price for a group in late may early June and report back.

      Main concerns is the quality of fan/airflow they have and how comprehensive the data on the printout is so we can see an actual bhp/torque curve swell as Max bhp figures etc.

      What type of Leon did you go for in the end ? Would be interesting to see output on such a new car versus claimed figures

      Ive used Martin Treacy in enfield m4 before a few times and he knows his stuff a;though im hearing CDA in dunboyne mentioned a lot too positvely but never used them personally:)

      CDA were the best around, with the best mapper too.
      Unfortunately their dyno was sold over 6 months ago and is now owned by the mapper down in Galway, Aonghus is his name and he's really good, got 430 lb torque from my Evo in the blistering hot summer.
      Next mapping I get, I'll be going to Galway.

      Want to do a couple runs with different states of tune/fuel types

      I'll have to ask him if it's ok first, he doesn't like blind referrals TBH mate as I'm sure you can understand in this game, high performance vehicles etc.

      So he has a Dyno for I'm guessing business reasons but he doesn't want new business?!?

      Sounds odd...

      Nothing odd, I'm not aware of his business down in Galway is all.
      I have had work done by him many times in Dublin in CDA who have been going a very long time., that's what I mean when I say I know him well.
      Anyone else that has dealt with or had done work by him will say the same, guaranteed.
      It's not my place to throw his mobile number around is all I meant.

      Check here for reinforcement of my opinion

      AP-Performance is the company AFAIK

      I'm not doubting his work, just found it odd to make somewhat a big deal of giving someone his number to enquire. I appreciate the logic in not posting it publicly though.

      Not after a remap anyway just a 2 dyno runs a couple weeks apart for a baseline and progression readout.

      I will ring him and see what's the situation anyway.

      I wasn't making an advertisement is what I'm getting at, just making people aware that CDA dyno is now operated down there, and the guy is a genius.
      I'm sure the OP will post the same after his experience.:)

      Holiday payed off, just to go to the dentist now and then I can insure my car. If I have it running by then I'll definitely want to see what it's putting out... 24 years later!

      Edit: The redneck expressed interest, he didn't say in what though.

      It would choke us worse than the 406.
      Everything else is auto though. :p

      I'll have my Chemo on standby anyway.
      Looks like I'll have a tow to the dyno even if it's not insured, so providing I've the rocker gasket done I should be good!

      Smartass :) Also have something interesting in the pipeline that will run alongside the 30d.
      It's petrol too, got to quell the tensions on fuel around here :)

      Would be more interesting for this than the 530 actually.

      I'm guessing this has died a death, but does or is anyone still going for this??

      Westward engineering do dynos for 60 a piece and I'm sure a generous discount is in order for the few that show up

      I'd like to get a readout on my C180k but i've heared of issues with autos on dynos. Car has ESP but have the ability to switch car into dyno mode which disables the ESP and ABS but i think the auto will cause improper readings

      What gearbox is in the Mercedes ?As long as you have a 1:1 ratio between the engine and transmission the reading will be accurate.

      Not sure tbh. Only got the car two months ago so still not 100% on all its systems n stuff. ESP told me to cop on trying to power out of a roundabout though :pac:

      Any idea on how i can check what box is in it?

      EDIT: think its this one - 5G-TRONIC (722.6)?
      its a 5 speed

      here are the ratios according to Wikipedia
