Let's go
I think the intercooler didn’t get cooling during stationary runs and the hp got worse with every run as it got hotter and hotter. That’s why you need a strong blower in front of the car during testing

Absolutely, I had two Dyno runs of my car and the second run dropped from 480whp to 450whp because it was getting heat soaked since there was no fan. This turbo probably makes Tons of heat as well so it makes sense.

Most dynos have a big fan in front of the car, for cooling, simulating driving, they do not. So I think that's why it kept making less and less power. Edit: I was informed they do in fact have a fan, it just isn't easy to see in the video.

Very quickly becoming my favourite youtube channel.. some of the things you get up to just makes my day better. Please please please don't stop making these videos!
Charge temps meant you get less power each time you ran it!- take it for a drive and cool off the temps! Get a squirt of water on the FMIC - Rig it to the rear wiper switch (and remove it for a cleaner look)
Instantly subbed, just continue to be yourself Alex and the channel will do great. Btw it was nice how you included the sposor of the show in a useful presentation. Much better than just talking about it and making us skip the part, this was cool thanks man

It makes less power than the first videos dyno. First dyno video when it was 'stock' hit 211 wheel horsepower. This dyno run saw 206 wheel horsepower. The B in BHP in UK dynos stands for bullshite. It's all smoke and mirrors to keep the customer happy after forking out $$$$$ on modifications.

Yes those chips are just like playing russian roulette. The best solution is a standalone ecu with the tune for the needs of your configuration ! Each time you change something, a new tune should be required, especially on turbo cars where a lean mixture can melt a piston in no time.

That’s a cool little car I never even heard about before your first video about it.
Heat soak could be holding the power back as couldn't see any decent cooling going on, fuelling could be an issue too. Maybe give Mike Brewer a call and see what they did to their Fiat Coupe that we supplied a hybrid turbo for, they made 300BHP with theirs. Keep up the good work :)

Tbh, during the Dyno runs you could often see some white puffs of smoke. That most likely means that it's either misfiring or pinging. Also that Dyno graph pretty much tells the same story. You can see in the squiggly lines how it's either losing or pulling power. It doesn't look like there are any fans up front? Maybe check intercooler/intake temps. And new coils are never a bad decision
