I guess about 190bhp but i never had it on a rolling road, thats just in comparison to other cars. With the T28 there was minimal lag and acceleration in 5th gear from 2.5k rpm was very impressive.

After about 6k miles the crank started to get a very slight rattle on startup and 4th and 5th gears had gotten a bit noisey. This was an engine with over 100k on it before turboing.

Running on 95 octane fuel 5psi was the very limit with my setup, in higher gears more than a few seconds and WOT with result in pinking. A 25% AvGas mix made it run very very nice.

I have no idea of intake temps but its something i'd like to monitor on the new engine.

I had a low temp thermostat and fan switch in it and never had a single problem with temps, even without the coolant/oil heat exchanger
