The op is aiming for 250 bhp and a standard engine and mfi system won't do those numbers,not on an accurate rolling road anyway.
Tuning a cvh turbo is a very well trodden and documented path and if it was as easy and cheap as bolting a turbo,exhaust,filter,fmic and chip to 1 then every cvh would be a 200 bhp + monster as nearly every rs turbo has that spec nowadays.
