As long as there's a turbo attached to the block. Unless, they could do all-new gearsets for all the revving you'll be doing to make more than 190BHP on the current engine design.
There's not a lot of room left on the 2.3L (even with VVT or something similar), I believe Mazda has "only" 160ish our of their iteration and the Fusion has 160 in the 2.3L.
Plus, turbo = big secks appeal. High-revving daily drivers = "Nooooo! Monica!"* :lol:
