Get the GTi-R manifold and GTi-R T28.  If you can locate a T04B housing 
from somewhere get that.  I was able to make 316whp with that setup. 
Avenir manifolds are decent to but still don't flow as well as the GTi-R 
manifold AFAIK.

Attainable at 16psi.  I would get water injection just so you don't have 
to worry about pump gas and detonation.

You will want to get a 3" exhaust w/ no cat if you want to make the HP 
levels you are talking plus the journal bearings on the turbo will like 
you more if you do.
