2005 ap2
k&n intake
2.5" n1 style exhaust
no name header
rdx injectors
e85
tuned by me on aem series 2
232hp 168trq
for comparison I had a similar ap2 on pump gas I tuned on the same dyno last week that made 221hp

stock ap2 I did a few weeks back
stock intake arm with a k&n drop in filter
stock header
mugen twinloop exhaust with test pipe
pump gas 93 octane
tuned by me on aem
super healthy motor. this dyno reads rather average compared to some on the inflated ones that are around here.
came in with 230hp 157trq baseline left with 240hp 165trq. made 1.5 less hp with the stock airbox lid on

A couple of years ago there was a dyno day at TDI South that included a stock AP1 from Lovegroova and The Loon's Mugenfest AP1. Having recently fitted a Mugen intake, TS-02 Tracy Sport manifold and Mugen exhaust I was impressed by the improvement in midrange torque.
Here's how a Mugen s2000 compares to a stock AP1 to highlight their differences. It's curious to see the curves on paper, since they look much like it feels in reality.

For comparison, here's another car Ratty's included with a £50 ebay intake, decat and exhaust mod. As you can see, Ratty's decat helps it in the midrange from 4.5 to 6k and again up top. By contrast the Mugen's torque peak is lower and more accessible as a DD starting at 3.5k rpm and has a double rather than single peak giving it a significant boost.
I think this shows how Mugen set out to make as much torque as they could to make the car more drivable around town, while living with the midrange restriction of the stock cat. The tradeoff, is hardly anything up top, but then they set out to help cars on the road rather than track.

Dynoed my basically stock AP1 today.
92F
5000 ft asl
Dyno corrected whp for atmospheric conditions.
Peak numbers:
201 whp
124 wtq
Mods:
Custom CAI
K&N cone filter
63mm test pipe
Straight pipe after resonator
This was a baseline run. Planning some head work and an AEM Infinity ECU over the winter.
At this altitude and today's conditions, the actual wheel hp was around 156whp, about a 22% reduction compared to sea level. This is, of course, what the dyno said.
