Have you changed anything since last RR?
Weather can have effect (warmer)
Was the aircon made sure it was switched off?
TC button off?
Also the fact that its dyno lottery.

Could be anything mate, how does the car feel to drive.

You seem to be missing the point - it may well be the same power, just two different readings from two different dynos.

If you're that concerned get some logs with VAG COM and post them up so we can see whether everything is running as it should be. One of the simplest things to check would be the boost if you have a gauge?

yup... dyno lottery!

Plus, I've always said, never get the company who maps your car to RR it (unless they're using it to map). For example, if "Company A" maps it, go to "Company B" to put it on the RR. As the map company are bound to give you a read out you want ;)

yeh mine peak to 19 psi and hold about 14 psi in 4th n 5th, but drop to about 6 psi in the other gears. i am thinking to take it to another rr to see how much it differ.

hmmm perhaps as many have mentioned its just the dyno lottery, you could always go back to the same place and raise your concerns, see if they'll run it again to verify their read outs. Not a lot else you can do :(

VAG com it to see any faults....possibly a fading MAF..

or could be:

dyno lottery
weather
boost leak
bad batch of fuel
aliens have borrowed some bhp for their spaceship to get it back to planet Zog

the list goes on......
