My 8V N/A was 118bhp, (EGR, non-cat) 16V N/A is 130bhp or 125-128bhp with cat... The '91 US 'S' had a 2.1 Litre 16v N/A engine, with 140bhp. We never got this motor, but some europeans did.. UK 'S' of the same vintage had the 2.0 16v with Low Pressure Turbo, 145bhp (Cat) Full Turbo is 160 - 185bhp --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
