$7k is TOO HIGH!  $5k is more reasonable.
Is the 273hp to the wheels or to the flywheel?  I doubt any stock turbo'd car could attain that kinda power levels, so be wary...

Even flywheel power, it took me an upgrade compressor housing and 15psi of boost to hit 250 to the wheels.  That's a little over 280 to the flywheel, but most people aren't crazy enough to crank the boost up that high on the stock IC!
