HKS turbo results question

HKS said that they got about 30-40 horsies out of the turbo kit on the stock fuel system, correct?

And the only restriction was the fuel supply, correct? Everything else worked fine? I am thinking of putting together a turbo after the custom intake manifold and head p&p. I expect to hit 190+ on my LX with new exhaust system, turbo, intake manifold, p&p, ECU tuning. Does anyone think my number is too high? too low? This is gonna cost lots of cash and will take lots of time, but I will get there eventually. And after the fuel system problem is solved, then I can run 7-8 psi and 230+ hp. Yes? No? Any input from people who know what they are talking about. Please don't post if your talking on pure speculation. I don't mean to be rude, just need to cut the fat. Thanks.

Why waste a few G's on a turbo that will output 20-30 at the most when you can spend half that and get a N2O kit?

Maybe cuzo f the beautiful sound of a turbo. N/M then. LoL

190 sounds right if you can get it done man, looks like there is going to be NO aftermarket support.

you're going to have to wait untill there are some electronics or schematics out to assist with timing on the new distributorless...

other than that you should be ok, people keep complaining about the returnless fuel line, but that shouldn't be too hard to fix, just change the pump out...those injectors wont even know what hit them.

what scares me is running much boost on a motor that has just about 10:1 compression....

I'd put good money on the motor popping.

For this car looks like there are 2 options, spray and NA Tune.

I'm sure I can run 3-4 PSI on stock internals. I should be able to hit 10 on stock internals with no problems (with proper timing and engine management).
