There are dynos of NCs with intake, headers, full exhaust, and tuning(via snipertune software) making 170-180hp to the wheels. Plus there is quite a bit of parts from cosworth.
Err... really? Intake and muffler (not even full exhaust) makes it feel like boost is kicking in?

What is your turbo car experience?
