Here's a dyno of said engine:



That being said, I would recommend shooting for 350/350 AWHP/AWTQ on a stock motor E3 combo and and grow into a more advanced setup from there. You are going to need the money for the necessary maintenance as these cars now quite old and have had a hard life.

You should note that Curt brown can probably make 500whp out of a VW K03. His results are never typical, but always very legit.
