edit: per scc, they had near 27% drivetrain loss. If that is accurate, I could see 29% from a vw.

dsms lose around 20% from factory flywheel rating
wrxs about 22% from factory flywheel rating
I'll go ahead and tell you percentages are not an accurate way of talking about drivetrain loss but I am not going to explain why because it's long and drawn out.
What I mean by this is. Even though a 2g dsm makes 165-170 wheel hp stock and the flywheel rating is 210 (~20% loss) does not mean a modified dsm putting down 400hp is making 500 at the flywheel.
Anyhow...the point is he is just pulling the flywheel hp rating out of his ass for that car.

But i don't think that the 24v is over rated, i think it is going to be monster of a engine.
However i do think that all HPA stuff is overrated and over priced. This kit is 20-25k over the price of the car. FUCK THAT

29% drivetrain loss does sound like a lot but beleivable b/c of all wheel drive. WRX's are 227 at the crank and msot dyno to 170 to the wheels. But just remember thats 170 horses to all 4 wheels, thats why the loss is so signifigant.
