Only unit of measurment that looks the same is rpm's to me it looks forein.. There is no possible way a n/a Stock 4 cylinder will put out the power of a genIII v-8 lol

This graph is a 2010 4 cylinder VW 2.0L TSI engine and has the GM5.3L max torque of 264 ft/lbs (360Nm) already at 2600rpm instead having it at 3800rpm.
The 2.0L VW has also a max torque of 287 ft/lbs and has the max HP of the V8 at 4000rpm instead of 5000rpm.
But maybe I am just reading it wrong, converted it wrong or am I just comparing wheel HP to crank HP? But torque should be still the same then because you always put the gear ratio into the dyno no matter what you meassure, right?
First off, Welcome.

Second, you dug up an 8 year old thread.

Third, the dyno is wheel horse power.

Forth, The TSI appears to be a turbocharged engine, No?

Fifth, from http://www.arinahnell.com/other/vw/tech/20tsi.pdf
HP: 200hp@5100-6000RPM
TQ: 206ft-lbs@1700-5000RPM

For 2002 5.3
HP:285HP
TQ:325ft-lbs (can't find RPM)

Sixth, there is an entire section devoted to dyno comparisons. Check it out.

This would be an apples-to-oranges comparison
