It's impossible to say at the moment. The FB engine is all new, and the only version of it out in the wild right now is a low-spec n/a motor in the 2011 Subaru Forester. No one's gotten to play with a turbo'd version yet. But back in the olden days (before it was cheaper to just buy a used WRX or Sti) people were getting 200 awhp reliably (~270bhp, up from 175) from the stock 2.5RS motor. A few folks were running 15+ psi and making 300+ awhp on bone stock engines. So nothing is certain, but 270 bhp shouldn't be too much of an issue.
