I would exspect a golf to make 270-280bhp and an Ibiza 250-270bhp. I aint no tech bod, but if people dont try we will never know. I only ever exspected to make 250bhp and 270lbs ft and i would be very very happy at this level, i note your point on small port heads and ibiza's generally make less power than golfs but this is okay because the ibiza weighs less and can make up for it in this way. I was also lead to believe that the small port head does make less bhp but more torque.
