I certainly prefer dynos run from steady idle (unspooled turbo) to redline, not from over 3000 after revving the engine to spool up. My understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that helps them kick the turbo in at a lower rpm to get a nicer looking curve at the bottom. |
That's the 604hp thread. And I have NEVER seen a dyno operator that does a pull from idle. All dyno operators start at around 3k rpms that I have seen. Starting at 3k rpms have nothing to do with there being or not being a turbo. Even N/A they do a pull from 3k rpms. The pull is not in 1st gear remember, it's in the gear closest 1:1 ratio. Which is most the time 4th gear in most cars. You not going to do an idle pull in 4th gear.
