For the record, 1hp = 33,000 pound feet/minute. The ability to move 33 lbs 1000 ft (330 lbs 100ft, 3300 lbs 10 ft, etc...) in one minute.

I am looking to dyno my fast again this coming weekend cause i just heard the place I went to here in Miami has not had their dyno calibrated in over 6 months which may be the reason i hit 187 hp. Will post up the new numbers as soon as I get them.
The 2.0t FSI motor in the mkv is rated at 200hp at the flywheel. 187hp at the wheels sounds about right.

I have heard (rumors) that 2 Mk V`s hit 205 and 207 hp at the wheels with a drop in K&N filter. Do you think that is realistic? I just purchased one and I am hopint to put it in before the dyno run.
I think that the K&N could add 5 to 7 hp, and I'm sure you'll see it at the wheels. But I don't think it'll bring you up to 200+ hp at the wheels.
