This is the thread on the TN kit. I talk with Craig a lot, and it was a lot of trouble getting 500+ out of his tn kit. He changed out everything in the end, and it still isn't 100%. If he had bought piece by piece he would have had a twin kit, but he was on a mission. I think for 400+ a fuel system may be a good idea.
Personally I think it would be cool to make power out of that kit if you can figure it out. So many people have that kit.

I would maybe look at another brand of injector if you don't already have them. I don't think the DW's are much more and seem to not have as high a failure rate. You can see people argue about this all day on the FI forum for more info.

If you are looking for a new wastegate I would suggest either a TIAL or a JGS. I am currently running the JGS400 40mm along with there turbo manifold and downpipe. JGS is pretty well known in the ka-t world. All of there products are solid and have awesome customer service.
JGS400 40mm
JGS500 50mm
Oh and the JGS400 is capable of handling 750+whp
