well the impreza base 2.5 makes 170
bhp with less compression so a 60 hp gain from 1 bar
200+60 bhp is 260bhp and thats if the compression was the same... with a higher compression ratio you could imagine the numbers would be higher...
the celica can make 260
whp from .5 bar from a 1.8L 180 bhp engine on stock compression (11.5) so you could imagine 12.5 compression on .4 -.5 bar would make around 250whp which is about 290 its not much boost for a high compression engine
