Yes, of course. I used a stock 2 ltr unit and got 220 hp, then with ratio rockers and still stock cam, stock pistons, (but with single HD springs) I got 270 hp...

Hermann from South Africa got 400 hp from his 2 ltr, like 10 years ago.
Of course, I could hardy believe it and certainly didn't understand it, but if you know tuning and turbo engines and what makes them tick, you can make any platform fast. Since the type 4 is a VERY strong engine to begin with and cools really well, it is an excellent platform to do so.
This is what I was trying to convey the other day, but got a 'good day to you sir' in the end...
