In your dreams my friend
I am yet to meet a man with an I4 that gets anywhere that power.
I've seen plenty people on here over the years with their MkV RS 2000's wanting more power and they block off the EGR, they chip them, induction, exhaust the lot and still see about 10-15bhp over standard.
i know about 3 people who have done this
mk2 escort stock i4 with manifold and twin 45s 203bhp at fly
