RE: the time has come again....
Not to get in on this thread but......400hp out of a turbo 2.1L 16V is a little hard to swallow. Your talking about double a Lotus Espirit Turbo HP numbers. I think the 2.2s were running 280hp in the last 4banger year. I just find 400hp tough to believe.....hey honnold pass me that crack pipe.
Thank You for Your Time,
