As per Dave, not sure on the turbo's capabilities, but you should see 430+ I'd have thought. Depends who built it and to what exact spec. IIRC Dave Yum got 470 odd out of his? Maybe someone will correct me if they know different.

Think your stretching it on the T38, a good solid 430-440, but its not worth number chasing
