Different turbo, wastegate, low-comp forged bottom, cammed, real EMS, as opposed to a re-flash and lots of boost. You're a bit too frisky seeking the pwnage points there, sport.

What do I think? I think the OP has some learning to do.
Yeah, it's true. All he did with the turbo was swap in a new compressor wheel. That t3 turbine housing isn't enough to push that much power to redline.
I still think 500whp is possible on a built/cammed motor with a good tune.

Now think about pushing it to the boost levels needed to get to 500 whp. The dinky dump will be providing tons of backpressure and the intercooler will be all but worthless as the combo of high boost and running the intake pipe so close to the turbo will do nothing more than kill your chances of decent power. Intake temps will be increasing as the boost increases and making it very difficult to tune. Just poor design

Didn't that post make you feel even better about yourself? Congratulations, now will you be so kind as to mail some money to the forum member, whose turbo kit sale you are trying so hard to screw up?
As per me, actually, I am back with the Z project. I am installing coilovers next week. After that it's the 5AT build-up followed by an FI kit (which is not going to be TN nor APS). And if the motor blows, of well, I already have a good daily driver and a fully finished condo, so I am in the position when I can buy a forged motor without sacrificing anything, even if my Z is down for a few month.
And I don't need to take this thread on any tangent, you will accomplish that just fine. I already see the Zivman's signature "TN sucks part 98326283749186" or "This is why APS is better then TN" in the making.
Bye.

I wouldn't say its impossible to get 500 whp, but I will say that $40,000 is wayyyyy too much money for that car.
