Internals are the key. My turbo will make 500whp but my engine will not!
I'm an advocate of safe boost and low maintenance equipment. I don't mind checking for loose bolts or clamps but I sure don't want to have to make regular adjustments to fuel pressure, boost or chase leaks.
With my stock engine and 93 octane pump gas - I'm happy with 300whp - 12lbs boost - 12/1 afr. Just get in and drive!
