Around the mid 200 mark i'd imagine. Looking on thorney Motorsport it's a fuckign expensive game though! I'd settle for the remap for £550 - gives 20 Brake top end, and 40 in the mid range - should be enough i'd imagine.

That's £6.5k 
Stage 5 Is POA...
quote:
Thorney Motorsport VX220T Power Pack 5 - £POA
ECU remap, full Milltek exhaust system, charge cooler, supplemental radiator, lightened flywheel, Sachs performance paddle clutch, roller bearing turbo, uprated actuator, forged pistons, forged rods, gas flowed head, Schrick racing cam kit, – Approx 330bhp
Daft spec. We won’t actually fit this level of power to a VXT unless the AP Brakes, uprated suspension (Nitrons), some aerodynamic aids, LSD or traction control are also fitted. Its still in development but 350bhp and 450llb’s of torque is the aim. Very silly and only really for the very silly owner. If you need to ask how much then best go buy a Elise 240R (which cost £40k) because you’ll need to feel good about your badge when one of these comes past on the track.
We could go into lengthy detail about all the parts used and how they were selected through rigorous testing on our own cars or go into intricate detail about the 40 or so hours that goes into each conversion but frankly we'll run out of webspace, so if you really are interested in this (and we've done a few now so there are a few out there with a deathwish it seems) then best to give us a call.

An elise with a 1.8t conversion might also be an option, as i hear the internals on them engines would take more as standard

Heat & Rarity (for the exhaust anyway) - it's not as much as a problem with the front enigned cars, but it's a major issue in the VXT i believe.
