In the region of 360bhp i would think. but to go over 300 in a 1.8T though there is quite abit more to it than just whapping a stinking big turbo on it. i.e. uprated CONROD's are a must!! Then bigger injectors, mapping etc etc...
i'm fully aware :) its going to be a proper engine on stand build. but i think i'll do it hotrod style.. fit the 1.8 20v, make mounts etc. then put the standard engine back in whilst working on the new engine on a stand till its ready :)

360bhp is a very good est :) i think i might even look into the future likes of water meth injection etc.
but hey i would love to look at later going for a haldex rear or something to put that power to better use :P
