Both plots are at the engine, and that's a good point. You have a 211hp car, and superchips show it as being 245hp, whereas RDT have it at 214hp. That shows the level of accuracy of a car / dyno for a start.
It's not my place to bag out competitors, but there's some facts. I just asked RDT about the 197hp, and they have to get the plot off the dyno, so will put it up when I get it.
Another thing to note is the torque curve. It's easy to do a big boost spike and have a mountain of torque at 2000rpm, but that equals wheel spin city in a FWD. You also have the problem of blowing turbo's on the GTI if spiked hard. RDT were just telling me the whole point of their more sloped torque curve was to allow you to put the power down, but so too it just keeps climbing, and the actual hp goes farther into the top end, all at as low boost as possible, with minimal spike. It also keeps the heat down, and allows the timing to recover better, they do put a lot of effort into a tune.
OK enough, now it's sounding like a sell job, and I will be putting a lot of this sort of thing up in my section shortly, much to share at last.
