Stupid question time....
How does one turn off the traction control for dyno purposes???? 
My 2000 TT 650 hp Lingenfelter laid down a whopping 390 rwhp on a 'Dynamite' dyno when I realized I left the traction control 'ON'. I switched it off and the power went to a whopping 436 rwhp. I then switched to 'Competition Mode' Figuring that might be better. At about 4200 rpm the 'traction control on' lit up my DIC. Sure enough, on the dyno sheet, a noticable hicup shows right at 4200 rpm as torque and power both went up lazily from there to 436 rwhp again. Air fuel was a constant 11.7-11.9 and boost remained constant 7-8 psi as well. On the way to the dyno, a buddy who was following me in his ZX10 Could not catch me from a 40 mph roll. The car seems to run fine and I don't think a 435 rwhp car stays even with a ZX10. Could the traction control really rob that much hp?
Thanks,

having traction control on while on a dyno can be damaging to the dyno it's self.
your not going to gain anything by being in competition mode.
Nice run.
