^ cool, thanks for that link. 
So now we know A-Spec 500R = HKS T04Z @ 20lbs/500rwhp but the 500R will reach full boost approximately 500rpm's sooner and even possibly 1k rpm sooner. A-Spec kit is not as DIY friendly as HKS, nor is it as close to being CARB friendly as the HKS kit, but it is about 40% < $ assuming no custom fabrication is needed. I will post my dyno next month (to show what hp loss if any) with my short runner manifold.

Um, you are aware that broken09 made 503 rwhp at 20 psi on the 500R over a year ago right? I'm assuming this is the second guy to do it? I'll have to pick up that mag.

Didn't Broken9 have 4" exhaust, ignition amps, 93oct and whatnot to acheive 500rwhp?
I beleive the Turbomag 500R had 3" Greddy but no mention of larger 4" DP or MP but those are a possibilty, allthough doesn't florida have 93oct?. I don't remember a mention of water injection or race gas.
I think the T04Z in the link also was running 3" exhaust and was in CA. It lists water injection in his thread. No mention of race gas for dyno.
I was also wondering why that stopped at 7k instead of 7500 or 8k.

20 lbs on pump vs 20 lbs on race gas is a whole other issue, you aren;t going to make near the same power with pump vs race at the same given boost level.
And why risk it anyway.
