Give Stu @ MSD a phone call in the morning ...
http://www.remapping.co.uk
He is an expert with the L8 and has some unique options
He may have an off the shelf solution.
Probably.....
You will need bigger injectors than greys for that BHP and he will
probally recommend siemens types (4 off).
The standard head MAY be an issue for that power level.

Universal Turbos version of the T38 will make 440 - 450 absolute max....on a fully worked engine....Head, Cams, Injectors, and all the right ancillaries.
Turbo Technics T38 ..... the most we've seen is on YUM's Engine which again, with all the right bits made 460 + bhp.....I think that's the best we've seen on here from those two turbo's (In the real world), and both engines had absolutely everything....fully worked head, etc.
To get 470bhp plus you need to go to a GT30/T4 or better. And you'll still need all the right bits on the engine.
