g tech pro owners!!!

I bought a g tech pro from ebay a few weeks ago (very cheap US$38.00+shipping!!!). I got it yesterday, and I have tested my car 0-60 once, and the horsepower for three times. I was pretty unhappy with the result, and the numbers are 8.61s for 0-60, and max 109hp. So, I am just wondering what are the average numbers for the stock 2.5RS, and I would also like to know about yours just for a comparison. The horsepower number scares me like hell because I thought that I can get around 130hp for my car, and now it turns out to be much less. Maybe is da time for a oil change for my car. Although I had this bad experience, I spent much time to enjoy reading the inst. G's number for cornering.

a few years ago, Sport compact car dyno tested their project 2.5rs and recorded 99hp at the wheels, and in their 8 great rides they tested the rs in 0-60 and recorded 7.7 seconds. I'd say the g-tech is pretty accurate

The g-tech is very inaccurate as far as horsepower goes. Its pretty good for 1/4 mile and 60ft times. I belive the one you got on ebay doesnt have 60 ft times. Anyway I compared my results at the track and the gtech and they were right on. HP varies and shouldnt be taken seriously.

When I did mine I did 60' time in like 7.5 to 7.8. I also did 60-0. I got 121 ft! almost as good as an evo lol. Before you say it's wrong I had S03's on and I have a wrx rotor uprade that's slotted and carbotech pads. I think when I did 60-0 in the rain I got like 134 ft.:banana:

I got 0-60 in 6.5 with my friends WRX wagon with auto. 6.0 with his modded GTI with auto. 4.5sec and 13.9 1/4 in my WRX with UP/DP, MBC, EMI, Pullies, K&N and 94 octane in 60 deg weather. The hp numbers are only as accurate as your procedure to get them and are only relevant to compare against each other on same day in same conditions with accurate weights.
