Disagree. I could tune that 4 cylinder to 400 hp plus with a tune alone. Saw many that did that with 2.0 turbos in Solstice/Sky.

Needs to be durable and emmisions compliant and meet CAFE. A 400 hp turbo 4 is none of those.

Now if Ford did that as sold.........big kudos for that accomplishment. They just didn't.
