question about horsepower

hello all,
i was wondering how much power do you think i'll be making with the new setup? i'm now running a t04b turbo, 3" back exhuast, lighter flywheel, lighter crank pulley, cold air ducting with K&N filter, front mount intercooler, 1600 secondaries, and the microtech lt8 running it all. thanks for the feedback.

umm.... You may want to tell us how much boost you are planning to run, that would help. Without that info, it could range from 360-450 whp.

need more specs on the turbo. Some of the smaller T04 turbos will not even hit 350 sometimes

the turbo is a t04b with the compressor size of .60 and turbine is 1.15 with with a v-trim. i'm shooting for maybe 12-17lbs of boost. thanks for the feedback.

aside from a good tune what other things will keep the motor from going pop? is water injection going to keep the motor from blowing up? i've did some reading and i understand that water injection is for running higher safer boost or is it also a safeguard. i would just like to make this one last. the last one was fun and fast for what it was but my mad scientist skills sucked and blew the motor.
