75-100whp, not bad! Def better than the S/C. Def a lot more $$$$ too! Pretty pricey kit.

well, you gotta pay to play $$$$ that's what we say on the subie forums.as you can see, the turbo's will produce more power than the s/c. that's why it's gonna be $$$$. if the stock whp is about 120 or so, add another 50-100 whp, that's 170-220 whp. that's freaking FAST for a little car like the vibe!!!! pay no attention to crank hp, because at the wheels is where you get your power. that's what really matters.
