Im looking to get a new car around september. I have been looking at cerb 4.5s but have heard alot about reliability issues which is putting me off. So in comes the vx220t which I hear is very tuneable. My question is how much bhp would I need to tune the vx220t to, to make it as fast in a straight line as a proper 420bhp cerb 4.5.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Your right wmg100. Im interested in straightline speeds but I didnt want to go for the norm, i.e 10yr old jap cars. The fact the vx220t is light is why I am considering it because It wont need 700-800 bhp to do a 10sec run(or would it). Im going for something different thats why Im asking the questions now and to see how tuneable the vx220 turbo is. I have searched the net and I have found it hard to find high bhp vx220s. I have come across 300s but nothing higher. Is it that the engine cant handle it or people just by something else. Also are there any companies that would consider doing it. You hear of and see high powered hatchbacks(i.e punto gts, turbo civics, golfs etc) and the vx220t is lighter than most of them. Im sure it will give them a run for their money. Im still awaiting the sale of my car before I choose my next project, but if the vx220t isn't the way to go I will have to go somewhere else. I welcome your thoughts on what you lot think of a straight line high bhp vx220t. Im sure it would beat a lot of supercars, without the price of a supercar been spent on it because of its weight. Let me know what you think.
It seems I might aswell go for the cerb because 8k would probably get me more power from a cerb and it been already faster seems like its the choice for me. Mind you spending 8k on a car just to get 150bhp(I know the torque is very high), doesnt scream value for money, but I guess thats what you get looking for performance out of the norm. Thanks for the info Denno B, Im not taking the plunge into my next car yet but your info was very helpful and was the information I was looking for. Any idea of the quartermile for the 350vxt. I think mid to low 12s. whats your thought?
in the 8s!!!! Now thats what I call fast. 11s for the 350b vx, Thats what a cerb mapped to 420bhp(what its meant to have in the first place) will do the quartermile in. Iwas thinking of the speed six route, looking at tuscans but the unreliability dare I say worse than the ajpv8 is why I was looking at cerb. But I still got months of research.
