What a difference!
I had MTI install the following; Corsa Touring, Corsa X-Pipe, High flow air intake, Air bridge, TB bypass and LS1 edit. Increased stock hp from 265 to 305 and torque from 280 to 321 at the wheels, at the flywheel it showed 372 hp and 390 torq. I know this is not much to some but I know I could really tell the difference. The touring are GREAT, not loud unless you want them to be. I am one happy man.....yeehaa.

Hmmm...265rwhp???? Sure sounds low for stock. But hey it looks like you made some good numbers with what you added. Congrats 
P.S You sure it wasnt 285??

I was standing there and saw the results...268 hp actually but I sure could feel the difference with the extra hp and torgue. Maybe that is all the A4 puts out stock...??

Congrats on the big improvement 
Could be the dyno. It's the change from baseline that looks good.

Nice gain in both sets of numbers.

Since I know a little about MTI and have respect for their service I will take everything at face value. Although, I've seen other dyno results from there and they never seem read low so I dont know why this one would.
But.....I wouldnt put it past a lot of other dyno operators to "fudge" the dyno results to make their work a little better. I know of one forum vendor in particular that FOR A FACT gives you a low starting dyno number in order to make their after tune dyno numbers look a little better.

I am thinking the before number should be 286 not 268. But I wasn't there so take that for what you want. Going from 286 to 305 for what you had done is a normal gain.Either way, you've started with some good mod's and I know your going to enjoy them.

Can I ask how much all that cost? It sounds like exactly what I'd like to do with mine.
The relative change sounds great but man, those are some low numbers. I've never heard of them starting that low.
