i put my turbo on still using standard internals and saw 230bhp at 9.5psi. only thin i had was a 1.9mm hg to lower the compression slightly. i ran the car on more boost too and still had no issues with it and it did make for a genuinely quick car.
just a bit of extra info to add there, you don't need to go all forged to get a decent power gain.
totally agree thre..cant understand how you can get as little as 170hp on a turbo 16v?? what psi? 3-4lol..

maddison's car is running proof things can work without spending shit loads.

also to add, im going to expect around 280hp'ish when mine is mapped very soon.. and thats with standard internals.
