Carbons didn't deliver the advertised 370
I thought that was why they didn't advertise the R with the same numbers?
Not quite, the ABT module sold in Europe for pre GPF 300's, are still quoted as 370, but in reality get more like 330-350 on a standard Dyno. This is what you could get from the dealer in Switzerland as they sold it as a Carbon 370. ABT Still claim it will produce 370 (PS) on the road.
Where as the
Cupra Ateca, which came with the GPF from the start, only ever quoted 350 (PS). Which was why a quite a few people on here, including myself, said as soon as 370bhp was quoted by Seat UK, that it was wrong and would only be the 350 (PS) the
Cupra Ateca got. Of course this was revised later.
The 350 module by ABT has been independently dyno'd with figures between 300 :O and 330 with nothing else changed.
That being said, unless you have the dyno's like ABT and Racingline, with the massive fans that can produce realistic airflow (Racingline pushed you back even when stood behind the car), you're never going to get the same numbers quoted by ABT, as the module is very conservative to protect the engine. That being said, someone else on here said after just one hard lap on a track day, they could feel the module starting to reduce power on their ABT R, so maybe its even more conservative on the GPF cars.
