Turbo people seem to have more heat issues though. Not to mention all the drivetrain issues with going above ~400whp
And there is also the argument about how much power you need in this car. Is the difference between having 350whp and 450whp going to be transformative in performance terms? I doubt it. The only situation I could see >350whp being needed would be if you are getting in to 'highway pull' races against other powerful cars.

I was referring to as-is. Yes, if you make further mods, then much higher outputs are possible.
