Hard to understand what you are asking about , I assume, Molly pistons.
You can look up the horsepower of all the various Subaru turbo engines on
the internet just fine.
There are SCADS of soobie sites just for that.
The upper range of aftermarket high hp for turbo soobie engines ( hot rodded
to the max ) is as high as 700 hp.
Try 'subiesport' mag.
There are countless groups and lists, and hot rod parts and upgrades.
But if you are doing a Subaru turbo engine conversion into a vanagon, your
first priority MUST be getting it in there and working correctly stock.
Only THEN go after hp mods.
Seriously.

Some guy was telling me that with a 2.2T dialed to 12 boost the horsepower
would be around 200, and that I wouldn't need dohc like the ej20G or better
pistons like the molly... does that sound right?
