And doesn't the Subaru site say the N/A motors produce 170bhp?

I will dig out the source but I am sure it came from an interview with one of the FT-86 design team. We also need to watch out for this 170 -180 Bhp figure on the existing boxer N/A engines as this tends to be a 2.5l and we will only get a 2.0l. If you look at the existing 2.0L boxers sold in the UK they tend to be around the 140 - 150 Bhp range and even th N/A Celicas have tended to be around the 150 Bhp range with the exception of the VVTL-i which scrapes 190 Bhp using some trick cam's but this is only available above 6000 rpm and is almost usless.
