From what Malc & Ant said to me it's around the 180/200bhp mark and about the same in torque.

As an unbiased person who has seen the work, its top notch.

I have been out in Malcs car, and apart from him not using the loud pedal to its full extent, its an incredably smooth ride, Very impressed, drives like a standard car off boost (probably better due to ms) and has a real urgancy when it spools up.

Be very interested to see it done on a manual car.
