Max of 1500bhp from a 1.5l petrol turbo engine.....jeeeesus

And that was with primitive technology - very low compression, very big turbo's, mechanical wastegates, etc!

Here's a bit on a Ford engine http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_artic...-6-engine.aspx

As has been said, the BMW fours were reputed* to be well over 1500hp in qualifying trim!
