Am I doing powermatch right?

If you turn power match off it will use the power directly from the Kickr and not the pedals. In your case if you see 170 from the Kickr and ~158-160 from the pedals then the pedals are reading that much lower than the kickr at that power. Worth noting that it isn’t likely a straight 10-12 watt difference and that if you were doing 340 watts the difference will be different (not necessarily more or less - just different).

When you enable powermatch the power numbers you see in TrainerRoad will be from the pedals. I’m not sure I fully understand your question - but essentially the power recorded by TrainerRoad with powermatch on is your pedal’s power reading, not the kickr
