I need your opinion on the following:

Series 2 RS Turbo.

Newly rebuilt 1600cc with stock pistons, rods and gasket.
Stock intercooler
Stock turbo
Stock actuator
Stock fuel pump
Stock ECU

In fact, totally stock apart from stainless exhaust and a K+N as far as I'm aware.

The owner reckons it's running 22psi... and 200 and something bhp at the flywheel, and 170 something bhp at the wheels

Now I'll admit I know nothing about tuning an RS Turbo... but that sounds very unfeasible. At a guess I'd say the exhaust and filter might add 10bhp at a push, and running that kind of boost would be stupid/dangerous/impossible with a stock intercooler/actuator etc...

What do you think? Is it actually possible?

And does he stand a chance against mine:



Phase 2 EDS software
14.4 litre race spec front mount intercooler
Six speed gearbox with LUK clutch
Permanent four wheel drive
Full samco silicone boost hose set
Green cotton panel filer in drilled airbox
Uprated Courtenay adjustable actuator set to 19psi
Enlarged and polished inlet tophat, externally chromed
Champion EON 2 spark plugs gapped at 0.6mm
Magnecor KV85 8.5mm red silicone ignition leads
Adjusted fuel pressure regulator
