I don't have time to map a chart for you right now, but my guess would be yes, especially if it were .48/ar.

just get a good used rb25 stock turbo and turn up the boost a little and get the car tuned. my rb25 makes 310whp and 325tq at 10.5 lbs of boost.

dont really want to call BS on you... but 325 wtq? I find that extremely unlikely.... especially at only 10.5 lbs on stock 25 turbo, I made 251 wtq at 11 pounds with mine.... something seems off.....

He is right though, 25 turbo will get you to around 250whp at 10-12 psi.

Well they do have a ceramic turbine wheel notorious for failing and you'd be pretty much maxing it out to get your power goal. The spool can't be beat though....

There right, Rock the Super 60 it might hit your power goals. If not step up to a T3/T4E 50trim with a .63 exhaust housing
