I've got a Kent cv35k cam, vernier pulley, ported and polished head with 3 angle valves, re ground crank, Jam sport custom inlet, mahle oversized pistons, beige injectors, uprated fuel and oil pump, ofc management, superchip 195 chip, hybrid t3 turbo with custom manifold and a scorpion exhaust system, forge motorsport front mount intercooler, AH motorsport custom radiator. Reliable (touch wood) and very usable power with a strong punch from low revs all the way to the red line without much turbo lag. But you can get a cvh engine to 200bhp fairly easily tbh, I've just been over cautious and built it to be strong enough to take more power in the future.
