Lovely car, looks really refined.
Nice spec, always liked the silver.
Just bear in mind that a stock engine won’t last a long time at 500bhp+. Forged rods and pistons are all that are really required. Some fit stronger head bolts too but it depends how far you push the boost.
Will see how it pans out as evil empire supplied and arranged fitting of the turbos, brakes and clutch the ecu , injectors etc done by local company .
He took me out in a green mk2 same spec as mine running about 16-17psi and said it had approx 470-480 it pulled really well !
As long as I’m close to 500 I’d be happy so we will run 1.2-1.3 (18-19 psi ) see how it goes when data logging etc now ive upgraded the radiator Aswell as the original had seen better days lol

If I keep the car then next year Im thinking of upgrading rods and pistons
As Rob at evil Empire said engine would be capable of over 600hp if I wanted it but where do you stop ? Lol
I’m basically going for the same as you, hoping to be around 500,550bhp mark
What spec is yours? What ecu etc etc
Something to bear in mind the mk2 has a 4 bolt crank where as the mk1 is a 2 bolt basically means the mk2 is a lot stronger
Welcome back Kevin,
