300whp or more possible from a vf39?

I have a catless TBE right now and hoping to get headers and EM. Is there a chance that i can get 300whp or more out of my stock turbo with good tuning?

Or on a dyno who is read by someone who is high!

Just kidding.......I agree with above. On the mustang at Subaru Specialists Nate got over 300 tq with my car's stock turbo, injectors, GT spec headers and Invidia Turbo back. WHP was around 270.

Yeah that's definitely maxed, but I guarantee a well-tuned STi with a turboback will make 300 whp at ATP for instance.

The bad part, is that the car will make that 300whp on a vf39 PEAK, but by the time redline swings by, the turbo has long since ran out of breath.....its normal to see a car drop 30-50 hp from peak to redline on a STI .
