As I found with the MINI, many aftermarket bolt on parts add performance, some subtract performance and some don't do anything. Dyno testing is pretty tricky especially with intercoolers and air intakes. You may want to refer to Dinan's White Paper on Dynos on the Dinan Website. It is almost impossible to mimic real world driving conditions with a dyno. In order to do so you would need to have the hood closed, have variable air flow, etc.
You are getting funnier and funnier.
