It really depends on what has actually been done.

When I had my car rolling roaded I thought it was only going to push out about 150bhp or so, but that turned out to be quite different! :o

It turns out the car had been chipped with boost up to a peak of 15psi and holding 14, the head had been worked on a bit with a new Ahmed Bayjoo cam, a new T2 turbo had been fitted just before I bought the car to run the boost.

Along with Scorpion exhaust and cone air filter the car pulled out some impressive figures.

Unfortunately, there's only so long you can hold this higher boost without coming into fuelling problems which was the ultimate demise of my Fiesta RSTs bottom end!

Luckily I'm getting a stage 2 SE 1.9 bottom end (lightened and balanced) along with a stage 2 T3 turbo.

Once mapped I'm hoping for over 220bhp!

Cheers,

Andy

Matt_frst...........

i would guess about 150 - 155 bhp @ 10psi with a standard engine. Only way to find out is to get the car rolling roaded.
