Use the turbo Mazdaspeed Protege at 170hp please. A perfect example to start with.
i don't like the idea of turbo cars, and i'm not sure why we have to include them, but i'll take a stab at the approach.
NA power is ultimately limited by three things....the volume of air you can suck into the cylinder, the amount of fuel you can spray, and how much you can compress it before ignition. while we don't process power that way currently, i think this is essentially the approach GT takes. "you can have up to x number of liters, with y diameter throttle body, and z compression ratio. have fun"
is there a similar approach using the specs from the compression side of the turbo, and assuming that thing is going to operate at max output all the time?
