You seem to know a little about turbos, but you forget that different sized turbos flow at different rates and more horsepower can be made. For example, a stock Eclipse turbo at 10lbs makes less horsepower than a 18G turbo at 10lbs at the same RPM because the 18G is more efficient and is compressing more air because of it's larger size. Without knowing the size of his turbo, you can't realistically guess at the HP made by the car. But seeing all of the BS he has been saying, I think you are probably right about that HP rating since the Hahn Racing stage 1 kit gives about 210 to the crank. I am assuming that is what he has which means he is a 14 second car.
