Well, depends on the engine you buy ;-)
You can get everything from 115hp 2,23Litre engine (U.S.spec engine, code
KZ)
up to the 2,2Litre Audi RS2 engine rated at 315hp (code AHU?).

Basically, all 5 cyl. are the same.
But in general the 2,3litre 136hp(Code NF?) engine is used, sometimes the
165hp turbo 2,23 litre (code MC).

However, the strongest engines don�t make much sense with the stock
tranny...
And you won�t get the stronger conversions officially approved by the german
TUV without a brake upgrade (stock brake�s approved top speed: 165km/h)
