even with a TD-06 on my 207 i wasn't making full boost till around 5-5.5k rpm...even with an 8k rev limit it still isn't much to work with. It isn't about the power figure, it is about the area under the curve. Which is why i am building a 2.2 with some very responsive supporting mods which i am hoping will be well on the way to full boost by 4000 rpm....with a GT35r .82.
what i don't think you're understanding is that sure, you can build a quick car with a 207, but it isn't going to be good at much else except limiter launches and quick quarter mile times....and it will be running on the ragged edge with a low life expectancy. 207 bottom ends aren't that pricey, but the labour to replace/rebuild a bottom end every 10000kms isn't going to go down well with the wallet.
