i have had a n/a 2.9 v6,was a great engine and i have had several yb cosworths and imo the yb is best.
the comparison isnt veyron w16 and yb,its v6 against yb and i like the yb best.end of.
my v6 bottom end is good for 500+ bhp as std, and my comparrison with the veyron engine was relivent because they are using a bigger engine to produce more power, thats how it has worked for years, turbos help both smaller and bigger engines to make more power. but at the end of the day a bigger engine will always make more power with the same mods (turbo, cams headwork etc) thats why the bttc and wrc cars have always been restricted, bigger engines make more power! am i wrong? take it up with the fia
