stock turbo won't get you there so you would need something like a T04B-E to get you in that range.

you will also need a standalone, fuel pump upgrade, larger injectors, custom downpipe, T4 manifold, wastegate, upgraded radiator, intercooler and a chunk of time and fabrication skills.

you will also need auxiliary injection or run an even larger turbo due to the high compression engine limiting you to about 11-12psi on premium pump gas with that 9.7:1 CR engine.

figure out who is going to tune the engine and go with their recommendation for the engine management system.

a hybrid will save a few bucks, sacrifice some response and upper end power. not like a high compression engine would need additional low end response though, probably will be fully spooled in the low 3k range.

never underestimate any project or you might wind up broke, homeless and sleeping in a car you have to push around.

i know i probably invested at least $7-8k into my TII just to get it up to par to get into the 350-500whp range(i keep it modest around 350 whp to keep it alive and it has never let me down).

if it has 4 intake ports it is a turbo block, 6 they are non turbo.

no way to tell if the rotors are turbo or non turbo with the engine together.
