As I am from the South ... I go to Ricol @ Peakhurst ... They have built/service all my cars ...

I am not too sure of who has Dyno's in your area ... I use to Live at Putney, and I know that BD4's had a Dyno at Ryde, and I think MRT may also have one ... Think they are now at Rhodes ... As for that, any performance shop in the area should be able to assist...

As for cost ... Well do the ring around.... If it is a dyno + Tune it will cost more... If it is just a Dyno run, then it should not be too much ... I know that Ricol do 3 runs on the Dyno (on club Dyno days) for about $50 ... Pulse did ours for about half that ... But we had a fair few people ...

What is the most power for a N/A FTO .... Well not too sure on that one ... Have seen about 115kw @ wheels I think ... Depending on if the car is tip or man also .. Tips I think are usually in the 90's, and man's are in the 100 mark ... Also depends on the version too ...

I think there was a picture taken of the results board from the dyno day ... Check in the NSW events section ... I may try and find it also ...
thanks a lot ,ROCK_IT !! i think MRT is the closet place but they charge $150 for 3 dyno runs...i think its too expensive ...
my fto is YELLOW GPX MANUAL 95MODEL , LIMITED EDITION..only done the exhaust and intake system..67000KMS ...excellent condition...i hope my fto can get around 105kws atw..i will post some pics later on..
I will probably go for Richol.. anyone got address?
Ricol usually charge about $77 an hour ... So it should be a lot cheaper the MRT .. Not really a fan of Brad and the boys out there ... But hey, just me ..

Ricol is in 11/12-14 Norman St Peakhurst ... Give Colin or Rick a call ... Tell em Craig with the Evo & Fto told you to speak with them ... Colin usually does the Dyno stuff though ...
