Default Obvious dyno issue

I went with some friends around here to get our cars dyno'd. Everyone went and everyone's numbers were fine and normal until we through mine up there. My car dyno'd 331, 333, and 335hp respectably however, my tq was a little bit different to say the least as it read 537, 819, and 902lb ft. WTF would cause this?

One thing to add and I don't know that this should make a difference but I was the only A4 car that ran like that. There was an A4 formula that was there but it's numbers were fine.

did the car downshift when he went WOT? or do you have a turbo diesel under the hood?

Sounds like a spike on the graph.Should be pretty easy to see.

It didn't down shift at all and no diesel under this hood, or at least not one that I'm aware of. lol

It is a spike on the graph but the entire torque "curve" is just a bunch of mountain ranges.

This is what I was thinking but I don't exactly know how dynos work exactly so I wasn't 100%.

A few miles after the dyno run my SES light did come on with P0128, p1135, p1155, p0135 and p0155 I think they were. The 0135 and 0155 I know I've had before without any problems but I think the others were new. I've had the SES light come on and then randomly go off on its own after a day or so but I never really noticed if my car was running any different, if anything maybe a few extra gurgles when letting off the gas and coasting.

I had a spike on my tq curve once said i made 521tq.The guy told me that it spiked cause I had 2 degrees knock on that run.He gave the car more fuel and it fixed the problem.But your tq curve shouldn't look like mountains.Sounds like a bad connection if i had to guess.

I believe he did say something about my car not putting out a good signal which is what kinda gave me a bad impression on what was going on on the dyno.
