actually assuming that that sentence about the 230 hp was a quote from tada-san is quite an assumption.
i do remember reading that article now but i brushed off that 230 hp mark, because there are no quotations around that sentence. it is quite clear to me that this is more conjecture by the writer of the article that the limits of an n/a subaru boxer is 230 hp. remember too, this article was written back when the FB series wasn't announced. everyone including the automotive press was still assuming that this car would have a modified EJ motor.
so to sum it up, the above quote was by a writer (and NOT an engineer)for the car website Hobista Auto
assuming that the n/a limit for an EJ20 was around 230 hp.
if they do make a hardcore n/a high power model i'd be surprised, but the cost/hp crowd probably aren't gonna be impressed.
