THE QUEST: Looking for cheap 20v turbo motor

[Mihnea Cotet]

Scott, a 225 HP motor can't be just chipped to 280 BHP, it would need a 
very free-flowing exhaust and a bigger turbo in order to go that high, the 
limit on a 225 HP engine is about 265 HP with a good exhaust and real time 
remapping (BTDT on the dyno).


HTH although it's not really related to the thread,
