Hmm.....I dunno about that.  I thought they dyno'd around 150whp stock.  I
guess AWD sucks a lot of power!  Maybe 305 at the crank?  That would only be
an 80hp boost over stock.  That seems more plausible..... Putting on a monster
exhaust and getting rid of a few cats (does it have a cat right after the
turbo? or before?  can't remember) MAY increase HP by like 30-40, and then
cranking up the boost may account for the rest of the difference.  This is my
best guess based on very little knowledge :)
