The limiting factor on them is the manifolds, turbo and management (and a hotter cam doesn't go amiss either).
Some of the crazy Dutch lot have seen over 300hp on a standard engine with bolt ons and management.
In standard trim they're not a great engine though IMO, although the lazy torquey nature does broadly suit the 406/Xantia/XM/605's that they were originally found in. I'm far from convinced about them in a 205 or the like mind you, but that's hardly surprising as I like engines to rev and the 2.0 Turbo is more akin to driving a diesel in nature (but with horrendous fuel economy)
