Whats the most power you can squeeze out of a stock turbo?

What have some people dynoed on factory turbo. I am just curious what the limits are of the factory turbo?

Thanks in advance.

it depends on how long you want the turbo to last...i'm sure you could push a ton of HP through it one time

Factory turbo starts to loose efficiency by 275bhp. You can get more but you end making more heat than power and burning up the turbo eventually. Sounds like you are getting to the end of efficiency with that factory turbo.

it would have been better if it was running the stock airbox instead of the greddy airinx.
