185hp is nothing to sneeze at, but 207 ft/lbs of torque at 1,800 rpms is more torque at a lower RPM, which you feel all the time, than almost all competitors.
Your biggest horsepower challanges will be mountian grades, and a turbo really shines in the mountains as they don't lose power like a normally aspirated engine.
A Linear has plenty of power, but with horsepower, too much is allways just right.
