And do research in the appropriate KA Turbo forum instead of N/A. Good Luck!

<edit> Hope I didn't sound like a jerk, I just see too many turbo questions in the NA section. Thanks to whoever sent it to the right forum. <edit>

That should hold 400whp, no problem. If you get greedy, you can even go to 500whp. Thats my personal build list that im going with in a couple of months. Im shooting for 450whp on the KA
