    Duck Factory cosworth with removed turbo, power?

    The posting about cosworth lately raised a question in my head... not really important , but still..
    How much power does an unmodified Sierra Cosworth engine produce without any boost?
    220bhp with boost, am I right, but without?

    When a you run a Cosworth engine with no Turbo boost it's just like running any other car in limp mode and it feels like a lot less than 100bhp. The ECU sense there's a problem and shuts everything down accordingly.

    How do I know, I have had it happen to me twice on a stage Rally and in places up hill the car would n't go any faster than walking pace, down hill was another matter.
