The 145hp limit is not quite correct. The limit is 165km/h.

You may also install a 1200hp jet engine if the tranny ratio is so low that
the car only runs 160km/h. That would be some accelaration!

I once saw a letter from VW where they claim 165km/h as the top speed with
stock Vanagon brakes (�86 and newer).

        homepage
(http://www.schubert-fahrzeugtechnik.de/sites-bus-t3-tdi6-preis.html) says
that the T3 is ony allowed to have max. 145 hp w/o modification of brakes
etc. If more, the reinforced braking sytem etc  is necessary (which makes
sense to me :-)
