It looks just like the others in the pictures.


Hard to tell without seeing the full compressor blade and turbine really.
The other possibility is that the dyno is one of those that estimates crank HP by measuring drivetrain drag on the overrun. That number can easily get fudged then by hanging on the throttle a bit.
