Halfwits made 285whp @18psi on a stock head with the turbo you listed and a TDF manifold.

400whp is nearly impossible to hith without an intake manifold, headwork

there are guys with Turbo Ds that don't have a clue about what's going on, and they make not much power. Then, there are guys who know some stuff, and make tons of power with cheap setups.

I don't know Halfwits car, but if he made 285@18psi, what do you think he would make at 30psi ?? I'm gonna guess first - for 18psi he gained ~180WHP, so that's like 10WHP/psi ... so that would be a total of 405WHP @30psi, give or take 15 due to the IATs

400whp is nearly impossible without aftermarket IM and head work, but yet it always pops up someone that has done it, and his/her car lasted a lot more than 1 hour: http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1719843
