250 HP turbo in light car?

I have a 1700lb. car that I want more power for. It's a street port 12A now and I don't think that I can get to 250 streetable HP, even with a 13B, without forced induction. It seems to me that I can get the HP with a somewhat low boost turbo. This kind of setup is uncommon enough that I haven't been able to find much info. Has anyone got any relatively low boost turbo rotary experience? Any other ideas? This build will likely start next summer but I'm starting the info collection phase with this post.

Logan at defined autoworks did 230whp on a street port 13b. It can be done with n/a, and maintain the n/a weight advantage.

you could also get 250rwhp out of a stock turbo, either on your exsisting 12a, or from ordering a 13bt, from 87-91. you could also do a rew swapp with the potential for 300-350. both of those would be cheaper and more feaible then logan's 230 13b-re. unless you were in a race class restricting turbocharger use.
