It's not the tuning, it's the turbo, it's at it's peak.

Ok, then the car wasn't capable of 400whp. :P

The motor is, the turbo isn't. I was told it was effecient to 550whp, but that was way wrong.

damn, 400whp. Goodluck keeping that shit on the floor. Costs money to get those kind of numbers but If your motor is capable of doing it.. Im right there with you. But I'd be pissed off myself if I was mislead about 550whp.

my turbo is supposedly rated to 550 at 27lbs of boost...i seriously think whoever told you yours was rated that high exagerrated to you. mines a pretty big turbo and its barely rated to 550.

I didn't buy the turbo thinking it was going to make 550whp, It came with the car and I ran out of money so I decided to run it. A shop told me it was capable of that after I sent them the specs, but obviously not. So I didn't really lose anything, but I didn't get what I wanted either.

Ah, I see. Learn how to read compressor maps, then figure out for yourself what the power potential should be. Then you can choose the right size turbo when you have more cash.
