so maybe a week ago i got my car dynoed hoping i would get some good numbers down. i do have a question though. whats up with the smoke at the end? the guys at the shop said i might have too much vacuum and might be sucking oil past the rings. are they right?? (engine is all stock)

also i know my numbers are super low. i was very dissapointed but it confirmed my suspision of a possible blown turbo or boost leak.
160HP. 152TQ

If it's stock than those are normal numbers don't be disappointed. Smoke at the end Might be your valve seals

normal numbers?? i was under the impression they made 200hp stock. also the engine has 12k on it. valve seals can go bad that quick?

Being a car of Japanese origin, I assume the power figures are measured at the flywheel, as they are in Japan. Anywhere between 185 and 240 metric horsepowers at the motor. As a rule of thumb the wheel horsepower is ~80% of engine output.

200 is crank hp, not wheel, and pcv valve can be clogged. check that. BTW is that Ditos?
