400rwhp out of a gt2871 would be impressive. I was under the impression that those turbos even with a .83 a/r would fall off around 375rwhp.
And the " only at 15psi " is all relative. It might seem like a low number of boost but on any other low compression motor like the ej's, you would need 20+ psi to achieve that power. Turbo's seem impressive on this motor because of the high compression and great flowing heads, but in reality you're not gonna push more out of a gt28 on this motor than any other, a turbo car will only push what max hp the turbo can deliver.
