Not bad for a production car based endurance racer with touring car cage. That little 2.0 must scream to make 275 hp. Could you imagine a 275 2 liter T4?

CB Performance has been putting turbos on T1 motors for a long time, with power outputs of 275hp or greater. They use them on sand buggies and the word is that they hold up well, so might not be a stretch to support a T4.

That Mazda Miata 275 hp 2.0 liter is naturally aspirated. I think by most calculations for turbos assume double the displacement. So it takes 4.6 liters of T1 motor to equal a little 2.0 Miata motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I think the most I have seen from a NA 2.0 t4 is about 200 hp.

That same Mazda 2.0 blown could crank out north of 450 hp!
