    He said it was in his S15 (Nissan 200SX/Silvia) so I imagine it was tuned up a fair bit.

    Hobbie2k is correct. 250kw@ the rear wheels. With the BP Ultimate...even on a 30 degree day...i could give it everything and was fine. With Shell v-power...the car would cough and splutter and hesitate. So i would drive off boost most of the time until i got rid of that fuel in tank. In replay mode...the power fc shows the ping go through the roof with shell.
