What kind of HP can I make?

[97 TSI fwd]

All right I just got a full t4 turbo system and a dsmlinks system. I am trying to find out who else has done this and what the hp capabilities are. My goal is 450 - 500 hp is this possible or am I going to need something bigger. Oh yes I do have a 1G head ported and polished along with the intake and new exhaust manifold. Most shops that I have talked to tell me that this set up will be more then capable and also to keep in mind that the more hp I have the easier it is for parts to break.
Thanks any and all advise helps.

Bud, I realize that this is your first post (which is going to be deleted) but, bench racing is not allowed here. Thank you

I'm not a bench racer. I'm just not at all familiar with imports of forced industion. All my car knowledge is in classic muscle car restoration. I'm just looking for as much help as I can get.

so.. T4 turbo dsmlink and 1g head, thats all you got?

Search through times and dyno slips at mods. Thats the best way to "estimate" hp. But really, you're breaking MANY rules in asking this.

Do some searching, and you will come across many different things. It's amazing.

1. Bench racing is not allowed.

2. Read through forum rules before posting.

3. Complete your modification profile, hopefully you have fuel mods to go with your turbo.
