Re: Mums new car...
be careful of the gearbox, the auto boxes on them have a tendency to evaporate
but the 2.3 can be tuned to over 300 bhp with just a some minor tuning

Re: Mums new car...
the power all depends on the model, as you get lots of different varitaions, from LPT to HPT ( low prseeure turbo and high pressure turbo)
the LPT i believe is 150 bhp osh, the HPT is 180-200 bhp i think.
Search for a program called T5 Suite, you can remap your own ecus with that and some technical know how
