for example: MR2 turbo. stock usdm is 200hp, roughly 160whp. that's running at 10psi. the stock turbo, engine, and fuel system can easily handle 14-15psi, all day every day. it's been documented MANY MANY times that on the 3SGTE running a stock setup, 14-15psi is right around 200whp, a gain of 40whp with no other mods, only a $40 ball-and-spring boost controller.
add intake, full exhaust including downpipe, and you're talking 220whp or so. 60whp more than stock. take into account 20% drivetrain loss (200-160)/200, so WHP = BHP * .8, divide 220whp by .8, and you get 275bhp. so roughly an increase of 75bhp over stock with easily under $1000 invested.

Oh, I believe you, and it know that very well. At no point However, did he ever mention using aa boost controller though. Also, remember we are talking about an "unknown" DI engine, who knows what Trurbos, etc etc. I'm sure you see my point. Further more, you know all of that is going to void you warranty faster than you can get to 60 right?

I'd rather a 200hp NA, 270hp Turbo leave room for a 350+hp TRD version.
