IMHO judging by what has been said about the 207 RC (not the GTI which has 175bhp) the RC is also surmised to have about 200-220bhp.
Same engine

both parties BMW + PSA working towards the same sort of power output

I reckon BMW will go the root of a larger turbo coupled with increased flow from Intake to Exhaust ie. airfilter, free flow cylinder head, injectors, free flow exhaust manifold (keeping it twin scroll), free flow cat and back box.

Does anyone reckon on a turbo fitted to the R56 being like the Porsche variable vane turbo.... ??? it's only an idea.......

expensive but it would be nice
