Yep about 200whp (everyone wishes we made that on a chip and exhaust) and that might allow you to hang with a sti or stock srt-4. (maybe if the a4 is on the back of a seriously modded cummins powered flatbed)
THey do, its called fwd [8D]

180-190awhp isnt unheard of with a ko3. Chaos is going to cry, but the small port heads work better on a stock turbo since the design of the runner keeps the velocity higher. Main reason they switched in 2k on all 1.8t's in the US

depends all on mods and boost level. With just that and a off the shelf giac tune, 170awhp will be about right, depending on dyno

I cant believe people buy 2.25" exhausts, stock is already 2.17". 2.5" is a min, 3" is better.

So funny to throw things out there and see the debate begin...
