Ok, it has probably been answered, but I can't find it. I have an 87 mk3 non turbo(200hp). I'm putting a turbo from a 90 targa in it, and they come 230hp.

If I drop a turbo in mine it will gain about 20 horsepower, correct? less? or more?

I'm trying to research it but i cant find anything/

On paper yes, real world you have a lot of potential power available from a turbo engine that an NA can't match.

Stock for stock the GTE makes a lot more torque so feel's much stronger than the +30 would indicate.
