Default What power will this engine make ?

1.8 zvh with STD pistons and no decomp plate, lightly ported xr3i head, unchipped OFAC ecu, T3 turbo, S2 rad and intercooler, stainless exhaust,cossie cone filter.

How much do you all reckon then ? ive got a figure of around 140ish in my head is that right ?

Also what boost does OFAC run at when standard ?
