I am not saying that they downgraded the new engine. The 205 PS rating is OK. The problem is that they overrated the first years engines. These engines were not capable of more than 190 PS which is a bit far from the advertised 200 PS number. This is based on measurements according to the ISO1585 standard and not some random guy in a back water dyno as you said. Which testing standard was used by Toyota?
