There can be power gains with upgraded turbos due to the reduction in exhaust backpressure and improvements in VE. How much really depends on turbo matching and available octane. On pump gas, I'm guessing we could see 400whp or thereabouts. On race gas, one could get considerably more (beyond the limit of the block I'm guessing).
