Read this series http://autospeed.com/cms/A_0528/article.html 250hp out of a 1.6 is possible, but (at least in nz) iit costs less to buy a TT Legacy then it would cost for just the supercharger kit and engine management. And you have a 2.0 Twin turbo AWD thrash car that can also carry your 4 mates, as well as your 1.6L FWD daily runabout. (Twin turbo legacy's have been seen many times on the market here for less than $2000) Don’t the SSS models of that year already have an SR20 in them? 250hp is a snack for pretty much any of the modern 2.0 turbo engines (provided they don’t have more than that stock…), so you are probably better off starting with one of those engines.

I love the car, it's very comfortable, it's got great handling, great zippy power and I love how the car has a facotry bodykit. I'm nineteen years old, and am finally earning some good cash, which I'm saving, and I would love to spend that money to repair and modify the car. I won't bother with the interior right now; I've already got a great sound system and the seats are great, but what I would like to perhaps chuck in a new engine: preferably a 1.6 litre inline 4, a supercharger, an exhaust system, better suspension, performance wheels and tyres, and better brakes. Would you be able to tell me whether such a small engined car is capable of handling all that extra power? And given such a small room to operate; I'm aiming to get 200-250 hp out of the car if my mods are successful, do you think its possible?
