hello bit of a random one but what BHP do you think i could get from a RS Turbo as me and my dad are thinking of buying one and doing it for track days and the quarter mile?

any ideas?

my uncle used to do drag racing at santa pod so he would be able to rebuild the engin (well help me) and we know a gararge owner who loves making things fast so he would also help.

thanks chris

Totally comes down to how much money you want to spend.

Mild states of tune can see 170bhp or so. With a few more bits 200+ is quite doable. Cars are out there with 300+bhp. The only limiting things are your imagination and your bank balance

thanks for replys, i have been speaking with my uncle and dad and they both adviced me to go with a rear wheel drive to get the power down, i also think my uncle may be intrested in coming in to it with us so we will have more money.

cant wait looking to get the car around easter.

thanks chris
