Matt, the 'standard' for measuring vehicle HP has been changed, and now requires some of the ancilliary items to actually be mounted and driven - things like the alternator, EGR pump, power steering pump, and such.
The engine and the amount of power produced did not change at all between 2005 and 2006, just the way the power is measured.
(In other words the HP rating is now much closer to actual in-vehicle HP, rather than a stand mounted engine with zero load...)
So, yeah, we now have 103HP - the lost five is sucked up by all that stuff hooked on by drive belts.
BTW, hello again, Robert...
