I think the exception to this is factory tuned turbo cars. My 2011 STI dyno'd 230hp/260tq at the wheels. Added a cobb accessport stage 0, which just leans the fuel out a bit and holds boost a bit longer, and was able to get 255hp/300tq. That was just the out of box map from cobb stage 0, no 'extra' tuning, just flashed and dyno'd. The WRX and STI are notorious for running rich as hell from the factory.
This. The Speed3 suffers from the same thing.

Factory numbers are not wheel horsepower, dyno numbers are. So when they say 300hp stock it will put out 220-230hp to the wheels.
