Not to turn this into a marketing thing but can anyone say 2 for the price of 1 with some change left over too lol.
Looking at the charts I think that a bit of the drop off especially on the tail end at higher RPM's with our engine is due to the use of a steel bearing versus ceramic. Switching to a ceramic bearing in the B6 should provide a noticeable reduction in friction which will probably increase the overall max HP and Torque numbers further as well as increase/extend them on the back and of the curve.
It's also interesting to see that the graph with the 2057 pipe set is almost a perfect parabolic arch! It's nearly perfectly smooth which I think is what greatly contributes to the engine being so drivable, smooth and the very linear feel that the B6 gives.
Again interesting information and thank you for posting this for all of us to see.

I wont lie to you Ron...when I tested the B6 I was shocked to see its numbers on the 2013... I even went back and retested a few other engines just to make sure something wasn't fishy with the dyno...Thats why it took me a while to post the results.... So far the B6 2013 with shim removed has the posted the highest torque numbers of any stock .21 I have tested to date..including the B5 which really shocked me.....I tested that B6 many times and its consistently pulling those numbers........ Just wait till you guys see the dyno of the mod B6 !!!
