the link I provided - I already did. Why am I stubborn? Because I've had different experiences from yours? I don't doubt what you say, I'm just telling you that your experience is not the norm. <<(it's not my car), keep in mind that I have nearly the same chart from my car (almost exactly), and show me dyno charts of your '87-89 GTI 16V's that don't have that and I'll believe you.>> - Okay, Clay, I have enough experience driving and working on VW's to know when they're pulling and when they're not. My friends still have both of their CIS-E 2.0 16V's. Even though I don't have dyno charts (nor the time or money to get them), I can tell you that both cars pull really well past 6000rpms. One of them has stock cams and no fuel enrichment, and still pulls easily to 6300 rpms. It does NOT die off at 5500rpms. Right now, you are saying your butt dyno is more reliable than a DynoJet and that dosen't really cut it for me. >> - First of all, that dynojet hasn't dyno'd MY friend's car, it dyno'd YOUR friend's car. You cannot assume that the results will be the same for another car. Feast your eyes on this dyno chart. A Scirocco 16V w/CIS-E, a ported head, 276 cams, and a stock muffler. Looks like it's pullin' pretty darn good at the top end. (the web site states that this car is running w/CIS-E) http://www.scirocco16v.com/Images/dyno_charts/riley-dyno1lg.jpg Side note: one of my friend's 16Vs had trouble revving to redline for a while. Problem turned out to be the coil. We did the electrical tests and it didn't pass. Replaced it, and it was revving perfect again. Alex Ranarivelo South California '91 GTI 16V w/European Motorworks ported 1.8 16V head, euro intake cam, Garrett chip, 50mm intake, Borla exhaust, 3.90 ring and pinion, .80 5th gear, no A/C, neuspeed lowering springs, rear tri-tie bar, and 16 in.
