Default WHAT BHP IS MY CAR?????

Hi everybody, just done alot of work on my car and its gonna go to APT for set up and rolling road hopefully next week, but just wanted a rough estimate on the power i should expect,

STAGE 3 polished ported head with kent cam, vernier, double valve springs, stainless lifters etc, stage 3 turbo, -34, pro alloy front mount and rad, full mongoose, k&n, switchable boost chip, running 18psi. oh and stage 1 fast road clutch.

Any rough estimates would be great, many thanks

Its got the bits you need

STAGE 3 polished ported head
kent cam
vernier
double valve springs, stainless lifters etc
stage 3 turbo
-34
pro alloy front mount and rad
full mongoose
k&n
switchable boost chip
running 18psi
stage 1 fast road clutch.

I would recon it wouldnt be far off 190 ATW

(i know i agreed with Christian earlier)

But going with this other car last week with

spec is all low comp pistons, kent cam, stage 3 turbo, stage three head, cossie fule pump, organic clutch, B&M short shift, ram air filter, breathers, swirl pots, loads to be honest!

It made 188.6 BHP @ 18psi! and 205 pound of torque

So it will probably be a similar figure coz i think its the same type of rolling road.
