id say firstly you dont need to run Autronic or Omex.
you could easily run it on L8 or P8 with no drama's. in fact id personally run it on L8 if i were in your shoes.
why are you going for a tubular manifold?
if your only after 400bhp then a T34 would possibly do you good, or maybe even go for a UT T38!

UT 38 =
hybrid turbo build from a T34 turbo.
but a t34 stage 3 with 360° bearings and cut back blades will suit up to 430 bhp normally, with low lag.
also need an big turbo manifold
you can go different ways:
first:
l8 ecu/P8 ecu with software (several dealers carry that) for that (grey injectors) incl. Weber Marelli loom engine sided, then you ll need a big turbo throttle body also, because the small turbo manifold won't work with that ecu (without modification to the TB)
second:
Go for an aftermarket ecu like Omex, Autronics, DTA or so...
get a bigger turbo, get everything mapped...
