with this kit plus a decent 3 in exhaust hp should jump to around 230-245 whp and 185-205 wtq
it all depends on how much PSI you're running. if you're running less than 8 you can get buy on stock internals for a while, but anything more than that (which is why i'm assuming you're buying a stage 4 kit) you're gonna need to rebuild the bottom end at the very least. and get an EMS. Resleeving the block, new forged pistons, and new rods is roughly $1500 of work, the EMS costs around 1700 retail. not to mention how much it'll cost to tune. or stuff like guages.
turbo isn't cheap. and if you're pushing 12-15 psi daily driving it is asking for some kind of catastrophic failure at an inopportune time. a lot guys have tried to daily drive their turbo rigs and almost every one of them regrets it at some point.
