It won't be an identical engine, there will be differences. The DMF must be different for a start or it would be needing replaced every week.
That's the old ancillaries though, the block itself is bullet proof and with updated parts there shouldn't be any issues. If in doubt just have a read of Harvey Smith's which is putting out 280+bhp.
220 is well within the engines capabilities. It's the Vectra/Signum chassis which in my opinion is the problem in putting the power on to the road. With 220bhp I would expect 450Nm of torque, and the chassis struggles with 350Nm+.

you've had this done for a while no Tan hows the car running? I hope it still going strong.
it is going fantastic. Smooth power all the way up. little or no smoke when booted.
no issues with duel mass flywheel or clutch, gear box etc.
changing oil every 8-10k with a fully sinthetic oil to be safe.
keeping revs low until temperature guage moves (i have working thermo haha)
it puts you back in your seat when you put your foot down xx
Champion, thats good to hear. So the way to go is to follow the path that you took .........hyprid turbo. straight through exhaust with no cats. egr removed. remap. few other bits as well. What were the other bits .....lol?
