depends on the setup. the stock 2.3 turbo isnt very big and winds up fast. it makes plenty of bottom end (in fact, there was a turbo coupe in the shop on wednesday for an alt., so the drive is still fresh in memory).
66 more ft-lbs at only 500RPM higher for stock 2.3's.
did some scouring on google, i managed to find this dyno slip from a turbo'd 2.3 duratec (couldnt find a non-duratec 2.3 dyno) @ 8PSI:
this is a different motor, so "your results may vary"...but it will act similer under boost. i can see the problem here dave.....who wants 150ft-lbs at 2,000 RPM. hes MUCH better off with the stock 134 ft-lbs and lower torque curve.
