The 3.0L.. which is essentially the same engine with DI and no turbo... currently capable of at least 270hp/223lbs without Turbo. Adding the Turbo would clearly boost the 3.0L to 400+HP and much better torque numbers. I'm almost willing to say that the 3.0L absolutely NEEDS a turbo to be a performance engine.

I think the 2.8L Turbo is capable of better than 325hp. In a small Alpha coupe with a suspension upgrade...sign me up!
