Here's some dyno results of 2013 2.0T MT with just an intake with STOCK tune runs last week.
Bone stock 2013 2.0T should be making about at least 240ish whp/tq or even more with stock tune (about 5% less for AT tranny).
This isn't something new.. All 2013 2.0T owners are aware of that oil temp is directly related to the amount of boost car will be pushing. 
1st run was after at least warming up water temp to operating temp and oil temp around 140F
2nd run was with oil temp being around 155F
3rd run was with oil temp being around 170F

I am pretty sure those have experienced dyno pulls or participating in custom tuning event about it that will give totally different results.
We've done 3 pulls within 2-3 minutes apart and it gave us huge different results with different oil temp as baselines.
Not only Peak power/torque change but instantly made 30whp/tq+ around lower RPM areas. 

Please don't be fooled by competitions doing baseline runs when the cars aren't even in the operating temperature to exaggerate the gains... Also make sure to reset your computer that you actually get the true gains from the custom tunes and do at least couple of pulls to get the most accurate baseline numbers.

Most of times custom tune sure would make gains over any canned tunes that was genetically made to work with cars in different locations/mods/etc.. We always leave good amount of room for an improvement yet ECU does learn and compensate sometimes even detunes itself. If you want the true gains and take advantages over canned tunes, Do not forget to reset your computer before doing the baseline pulls like some competition also advertise exaggerated gains over some 2-3+ year old canned tune with their custom tunes. 

Hope everyone takes good advantages of paying extra $ to get custom tunes from us or any other competitions and get your money worth.. You've been warned..!
