Hey Mike and Andrew, check THIS out. 914's are really rare in Brazil, and here's one with a turbo Audi conversion, engine and transmission. They say 420 hp, and over 500 when the boost's turned up. (your experience may vary):

There's some funny slang that may not translate, like "Brabo Motorsport", translates "Angry Motorsports" and "Veneno", which is 'poison', but for cars means "hot rodded". If something doesn't translate well let me know. Cool car.

Im going to agree with Mike that 430HP is a lofty claim. At least as displayed in the video

For starters, unless he has the boost dialed down in the lower gears or just for that video, It doesnt spin those tires at all.

It does have quite a bit of lag and seems to come in around 4k but that could be poor tuning. The physical size of the turbo isnt really going to be that big of a consideration, it is probably a GT2871 or GT3076. A GT3076 could make that power, but not the 2871.


Also that turbo doesnt sound like it is spooling a lot of boost, so, Im going to say that Yes it could be real numbers, but in the video? He's running about 300hp.
