std vl 6 cyl runs 114kw, turbo runs 150kw and V8 runs 132kw. Mine is std with cold air induction, k&n filter, pacemakers, hi-flow cat and sports exhaust and putting stage 2 chip in next week. i estimate my kw's to be more than a std v8 but not as high as a turbo... yet. A bloke at uni-chip also told me all vl's run different kw's. even if the same bloke made it on the same day with the same batch of bits. i do like the idea of removing the mesh, no real point for it. it doesn't filter squat unless you run a pod filter or ram flow that falls apart and sucks into the intake.
