I think that it means that Julian Godfrey engines of the same/similar spec have been used in the cars that have won all those series

You could easily get as much BHP for less money with a different engine choice.
Just cos it has the Cosworth Name I would not pay that much for any engine.

Still its not a problem for me as I don't have even £500 to spend on an engine let alone £52k

The 45mm air restrictor in the turbo will be the thing killing the power output. So not too bad making 500 plus bhp and nearly 700lb/ft of torque. And all the power will be delivered from very low down the rev range.

Give your choice of engine to him, he will return it with significantly more power than just about anybody else on the planet. He is very well known for doing some sort of black magic and mapping an engine like very few people can. that sort of talent is very rare. Of course, the bill may be a little hefty.
He has done some nice stuff with duratecs too. And excellent gearboxes. All well out of my league though.
