Default Dyno question???

What is the correct way to dyno an A4? Will an A4 car dyno different if you roll onto the throttle instead of stomping on it? Also what gear should it be in D,3,2, or 1? Just wondering about technique because my TQ number seems low (unlocked) and i am concerned something may be wrong with the car?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have very similar mods and my hp and tq are very close to yours. But don't worry to much about those numbers. You have nothing to worry about with 11.94 at 116!!

On an A4 you leave it in 3rd and take it up to 3000 or so, You want to stand on it but it must not downshift or the readings will not be correct, depending on the flash of the converter sometimes you have to take them up pretty high in the RPM range..............

You want to leave it in whichever gear is closest to a 1:1 ratio and make sure you're high enough in the revs to not downshift.
