I'm surprised how much rage occurred here. As someone who has watched the 1 1/2 liter engines for a while I can say that 270PS(not BHP) is completely doable with a factory turbo 1.6L. It just hasn't been done before. The size is rarely turboed and rev happy since it's more commonly used to replace a torquer bigger 4 banger. The Veloster, Ford 1.6L turbo, Mini turbo, etc are all making peak power at 5-6k RPM. If a 1.6L with peak power past the 6k mark that makes 85BHP per liter was turbocharged to 1 bar it would make around 272BHP.

Getting it reliable just depends on how it's built.
Cheers!
