You can find all the technical data by doing a simple search on Google.
The only road going version of a modern WRC car to feature a turbo charger is the Subaru Impreza.
The power output of all modern WRC cars is limited to 300 bhp (since 1987). All cars run with a 34mm turbo restrictor, if removed, the power output would be nearer 410+ bhp.

Acctualy Subarus are never used in Rallycross Div 1 beacause it can stand the extreme bhp who is used in those cars... And in Rc a Skoda has dominated the scene for a couple of years now.....

Yeah Skoda is so much more successful in rally cross, they just didn't had a right team for world rally. Here is a thread about the torque output of these engines: http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...d.php?t=126250

Interestingly Citroens technical data states 320bhp for the C4.. I reckon you could probably add another 10-20 bhp or so for a more realistic figure. Come to think of it.. is there anything in the WRC regulations that specifically state 300 bhp? Imo the 34mm restrictor has long superseded the old unmanagable capped BHP idea... but is somehow still a myth of the WRC.The emergence of the new 'Rainmaster' - Mad Max at Interlagos 2016!
