A friend of mine is running his M47R with some 180bhp through a custom map (bench-validated). The car is quick, no doubt, but as Brian pointed out, it does come out with quite a bit of black smoke on the exhaust...and the clutch is especially fragile with that kind of torque output. His clutch usually won't last more than 10.000 kms...
