Re: QUICK QUESTION
150 Bhp, I believe.
Popular wisdom says at this output it lasts forever, but it doesn't like being moddeded.

Re: QUICK QUESTION
The engine can't handle any more bhp without fairly major work. Turbos, cooling system, head gasket, fuelling are all weak points.
It was designed to give a nice shove of torque and be flexible, quiet and reliable which it does well by all acounts - if you leave it alone

Re: QUICK QUESTION
You can get another 10bhp or so from a healthy motor, but beyond that it starts to cost serious sponduliks and makes a used hand grenade look reliable.
It's pointless, as the 2.2 petrol is already 10bhp meatier, lighter, rock solid reliable, more economical and has much longer service intervals.
