But I read that back in the 80's, a m10b20 engine with turbo that BMW motorsport developed for their f1 cars had 1200 hp+ and this was with like 50 psi of boost I think. They didn't really know the exact power of the engine because the dyno chart stopped at 1200 hp.
That m10 engine is pretty similar to the m10b18 in the e30 318i in 84-85. Everyone complains about how crappy that engine in the car is but little did they know you if you built it right and boost the hell out of it, you can make tons of power.

Did you hear the one about the 24 valve dohc head for the m20? That one was a trip even though it was an old article and the head was never developed in the aftermarket.
