Hi !
A B235E engine is fitted with a Garrett GT17 turbocharger, approx. 200 bhp is the max "safelimit" for that unit.
Antother thing that you should remember, the exhaust valves of the B235E 170 bhp are not designed for higher output.
MY/01 the B235E was upgraded to 185 bhp, that included Nimonic exhaust valves to handle the thermal stress.
The B234E (9k) is a different engine, with a Garrett T25M turbo, all this makes is possible to squeeze out a few extra bhp´s.
