Both the RB and ASR turbos wills struggle to make much more than 500-510whp. The compressors will certainly support more power than that. But the limiting factory is the relatively small and restrictive turbine housing/wheel.

It's also worth mentioning that a 500whp single turbo engine will be far less stressed than a 500whp RB/ASR turbo engine. Not only will it require considerably less boost to make that power, less heat will be retained in the head due to not having a heavy cast iron manifold bolted to the engine (acting like a heat sink).
