Default Engine setup and bhp

I am re building my rst engine and i am thinking about this spec: -

Magnex exhaust
K&N Pannel filter
Chip
Stage 2 turbo
Piper Cams
New rad
Pace front mount I/C

what sort of bhp should i expect from this set up?

Thanks

James

any more than 16psi on a standard turbo will seriously shorten its lifespan
