hello i have sports indicators in my car. Previous owner did chip to 280hp 420NM it was few years ago before he did timing chain oil pump etc. I have scale up to 320HP /400NM. When I give full gas my sports indicators show me ~310hp and closes entire scale of Nm it is 400nm. Are these indicators reliable? Is there a measurement error?

Not reliable at all

They called dummy gauges almost every single thing on a car is a fake gauge that makes the customer happy, bmw included lol they do that because customers don't know what they're looking at and they got tired of people coming in for no reason at all

you're talking a little irrational.
no one would upload it to the system without a reason.

go to a real dyno test and compare is many places in Poland to do the test.

It's just for a little fun. It's inaccurate because it's using algorithms not actual measurements.it's using throttle input and preprogrammed values to give the numbers you see.
