Just on V-Power I beleive. It was on the ragged edge of standard pistons though, and let go a couple of weeks ago 
To be fair, he knew it was on borrowed time.

434 on standard fuel chuck in a bit of meth and that should surpass andyF 440bhp when he had the 20G lol you sure it wasnt some dodgey rollers?
From what I have seen on this forum, 22b.com and nasioc 20G's on E257's seem to make less power than what they do on 2.0/2.1's however they make alot more torque, every single one is producing more than 400lbsft

thats ok for little while when you changing to that s206 ki8llr?
thats because they spool-up earlier on the 2.5 and are unable to to sustain thru to give the high bhp. It would need a quality turbo to do both
On straight petrol and a representative rolling road this turbo was never likely to do 434 bhp. Incidentally the car in question was also running "ported O/E headers". Comparing claimed turbo output figures on different rolling roads, on different days, without absolute knowledge of the fuel and boost in use is rather pointless.
There have been some spectacular headline figures in the past but the current crop of 05-06 20G turbos often struggle to make 380 bhp, sometimes a good bit less and 380-400 bhp on V-Power plus NF is a good one which is beyond the reach of most. Unfortunately there are many disappointed owners of these turbos.

Since then, the intake was found to be faulty and letting random air flow past the MAF mount, so its gone back to a std air box with snorkelectomy (& remap).
It now struggles to 355 hp (Zen RR again) while showing a definite power peak curve, so a decent intake will now be sourced and normal service hopefully resumed.

Pat Holborn mapped my 2.5 although it's never been on the rollers he thought it was somewhere in the region of 400 400 it make's for an incredible road car !! It really is very very quick point to point !!!
