Now, if you were to modify the N/A hp to 200whp using top-end work, then you could theoretically make:

500bhp @ 1 bar boost
750bhp @ 2 bar boost
1000bhp @ 3 bar boost
1250bhp @ 4 bar boost
I'll be dating Kim Kardashian before someone gets any of those numbers out of an N/A motor that hasn't been seriously reworked.
