I would be happy at 235-250 whp-200-210wtq so a low psi turbo sounds like a plan in the future.
I keep waiting for a CARB legal kit/tune to blow but it hasn't happened yet to my knowledge. Same boat as you, seems like the way to go for someone who doesn't have something to prove, the 4 kits off the top of my head offering canned tunes land right around 240whp and can be DIY installed, tens of thousands of miles on multiple cars so far. Definitely my plan for the car in ~4 years time.
