how much power/quarter mile times

hi, i just bought a s5 t2 with a t3/t4 hybrid turbo that's running 16 lbs of boost. i've raced a few people and the power wasnt what i expected. how much horsepower would you estimate it has. and what kind of 1/4 mile times? i've looked at other peoples fc's but i don't know what kind of difference their other mods make so i can't figure out what mine would run compared to theirs. here's a list of all the mods.

BNR Stage2 Upgrade Turbo
Rx7Trix Stage2 upraded motor with mild porting
Brand new Racing Beat Housings
FD Fuel Pump
Act 6 Puck Clutch
NGK 9 plugs all the way around
Magnecore Wires
k&n cone Intake filter
FCD
Apexi Blow off Valve

it's a genie exhaust 3" downpipe to smaller genie pipes but it has an exhaust leak after the y-pipe on the passenger side. right before the muffler.

tune it and fix your exhaust leak then run it and it should be IMO

i guess i'll just have to come up w/ some money and get to a track. i checked out the exhaust system today and it's a major piece of ****. half of the flanges are leaking and the pipe where it becomes a "y" is leaking. there isn't enough support for it under there.

Fix your signature. 6 lines is all that is allowed. Yours has ten more than that. fix it before an admin sees it and deletes it all together.
