    Talking how much bhp.

    I can't find a rolling road near to where i live so i was wondering how much power i have. I have got a piper cross induction kits and a MBC and gauge. The gauge reads .82 ish bar which is about 11.6 psi. Am i right in saying that a normal T5 has .6 bar ( 8.7 psi ) and a T5 R has 3 psi more and has 240 bhp. So does mine have about 245 bhp or have i messed this all up.
    I'm still looking for a local rolling road so i can get a true figure, but until then i was just wondering.

    Don't forget that the figures your quoting are from new, time takes it's toll on components so you can't say for certain, best not to guess, how quick does it feel?, cos that's all that matters in the end.
