Probably about 170 bhp and the same torque, for around 500 quid. An na 2 litre making 200 bhp would need headwork, high comp pistons, different management, cams, throttle bodies id guess about 150 quid for the engine and maybe 500 for the cams, 1000 for bodies and management, 500 for pistons, so about 2150 quid, and it would be wank on fuel and drive like shit low revs due to the high comp and cams, plus you might not get it through cat emmisions.
