So its an estimate that 70KW (which is a lot; so much that it would be impossible to touch anything on the drivetrain becouse of the heat)

That's why a lot of tuners (like ESS) use an estimated standard loss value of 0,15 (which is still a lot imho especially with more powerful cars)
Somehow your tuner manages to double that figure.
If you think that figure is correct, than you have a serious drivetrain issue.
