2.0, 295bhp on 6PSI (under 0.5 bar) ? I don't think so
Not to mention why would they /lower/ the boost over standards...
This bit explains it tho;
"had all the upgrades listed below carried out professionally by Motobuild"
Anyone who goes to Moto-Build for upgrades is an idiot. Stands to reason they'd believe the power output figures that Moto told them...
Boost is only a measurement on the air that's not getting into the combustion chamber. If you make the engine breathing more efficient with a bigger bore, cams, gas flowed head etc. it will draw in more air hence less boost for the same amount or air. Don't believe those power figures though and don't believe he will see 16psi with a T25 on a 2.2 engine.
Not 295bhp's worth.
Didn't I just say that ? :)
Amen.
It's not impossible, just highly unlikely. If he managed to get 210bhp out of the engine without the turbo then 6psi would be enough for 295bhp. The T25's probably right on it's limit producing that amount of boost anyway and is going to struggle to maintain 6psi.
