But probably not significantly more than the outgoing one. And that is the choke point on the engine when it comes to 'easy' mods.
Here is what me and Exage are getting at:
So if the 210 hp/180 whp motor guys were getting 240 whp (+60 whp, nice gain) after mods, I don't think the new ~270 hp (probably ~230 whp) motor guys will see much more than 250 whp after similar mods (~+20 whp). Unless the turbo is significantly upgraded over the outgoing one.

The old turbo was a single scroll that everybody hated on the forum. I actually would never buy a 2.0T GC though. I like N/A so 3.8 was the only option.
