I've had pretty good luck with VD in the past years with evo's and sti's. Always been pretty close as long as you have the additional weight and tire size and information correct. I loaded up my car recently to see how my old setup would compare, on the dynojet I was on with the TVS it made 370whp/292tq. VD showed 372/291. I was also within 3whp on my 508whp pull back on 23lbs as well after I entered in my correct gear ratio's for the F40. I've also been within a % or 2 on a few other cars as well. It is by no means a perfectly accurate reading and you can fudge the numbers as much as you want to make it read whatever you want lol, but if you put everything in accurately and you use a flat surface and do single gear pulls it works pretty well. I don't think I'd take it as seriously as the Evo and STi guys that will actually post them in the dyno thread claiming they are gospel, but Brad Barnhill's VD has been pretty helpful in my experience, especially since there isn't a dyno nearby.

I am just taking a break from working on the car I have the new pipe in and am just fixing leaks.
I also check the K04r for shaft play after beating the **** out of it on 28psi and with my leaks and it is MINT!! !00% happy with the quality even after what I've put the turbo through
