Oh my gosh, do you really want to go to the expense of Cosworth 16 valve heads, turbo, compression ratio that would require high octane race gas, a cam so hot you could not use it on the street, etc.

If you want that much power, better to put in a V-8

Thought I'd just look that up real quick, and read about it. I've been copy/pasting and reading for hours now! Those early turbo guys must have had some deep pockets to refine their systems to those levels. I can just picture a pile of hole filled pistons in a smokey heap behind the shop. Some really great reading!
