I think about 290 to 300 bhp is about the most, although some apparently have had more than this.

Mine made 292 bhp and 316 lbft on a standard T3 which was a lot more than i was expecting.

as said a bit over 300, but this is boost dependent, 20 psi held is really the max on a 4x4 t3 with maybe a peak of 22psi at the expense of long term turbo reliablity. I have seen more tho, eg castle parformance used to set their stg 3 setups to 24psi peak.

mine made 326.7bhp with 359.9ft/lb torque. lasted for the 3 years I had it after and sold it with the same turbo.

The bloody drive shafts were more unreliable than the turbo !

310-320bhp (taking a peak of 24psi and holding 21psi to achieve this).

Any more is just an over-reading rolling road !
