The plans for the sedan are for it to be a fast road car so I'm after comfort (as much as a 306 will offer) and a torquey fast spooling reliable engine.
After being in Ruans Nanstone I was pretty impressed at the GT17S it has in it albeit fairly laggy with the not so efficient hit side but it pulls bloody well once it's spooled.
So what I'm wondering is what sort of power can these handle without shitting themselves and whether it's even with the effort. I'm only looking for 150-160BHP.
The plus side is the they are plentiful and cheap. I do have a TD04 ready to bolt on but I feel I'd rather something that more usable with an instant low RPM kick.
I know a VNT is the obvious option but I can't be bothered with the hassle and setting up.
