On a goo street port I am going to guess 4600 to 4800. You can probably search and find some dynos.

^^ What good is a bigger turbo if you dont' have the **** required to take advantage of it?? All I see on here is people wanting "X" turbo. Having a bigger turbo doesn't always mean a better performing car.

I agree, but just answering dude's questions.
IMO, If I had a good amount of money, and could get any turbo to make 450 rwhp on pump, I would buy a GT42, HKS T51R SPL, or a T88H. All are huge *** turbos, with top end that will bust your ***. and capable or 500 on pump, 600+ on race.

Shabib, thanks for the compliments. As for the paint job and body work....I could probably get the person who did the work so much damn business from the northeast section of FDs alone...it would double his yearly workload. A friend from my first internet car club...his parents own their own shop out in the hills of PA. They build a 3 car garage next to their home, one bay which has the paint booth. I drove the car out there for all the work. Lets just say it was less than a single turbo kit 
I can't thank them enough (and they didn't give me any big discount, just a small business with little overhead and reasonable rate). Everytime I look at the car and think of how much it cost...I feel like I ripped them off. Crazy thing...I actually paid them $300 more than what my friend quoted because I was worried LOL
You'll need a 3-row IC to hit 15psi +

I'll try and set anyone up with a paint job that wants one...however, you have to pay me a $200 finder fee......but trust me, you'll have that left over compared to taking it to a typical city rape shop

200 finder fee thats fine with me, did they paint your engine bay and what do they complete sand the car down then reprimer/paint/clear coat it, also what turbo are you thinking of getting?

They sanded the entire car, filled dents, removed and edged fenders, primed, installed new bumper/sideskirts/99 wing/rear mud guards, painted car and all jams and underside of hood, clearcoated, wetsanded.

OK here GT40R's are on indefinite backorder, I can order one just couldn't tell you how soon it will get here. I have almost ten still on order from before.(over a year ago) Gt42R's are available but aren't really a drive around town turbo. Pricing has gone up on all GT series turbos I would say your goal of 450whp@17psi dictates a larger turbo though.

I'm not sure whats with all the misniformation going on with 3-row intercoolers.
I have a greddy 2-row R core intercooler and it works perfectly fine. my intake temps are 5-10 degrees F over ambient temps. i dont exactly run moderate amounts of boost either.
theres no "need" for a 3-row intercooler like some people are saying.
