300whp is prolly the tops for an average build on this motor. A log mani will support 350ish to the wheels. You wont need a large hot side since there is just no displacement or high revving. Smaller hot side with a decent sized compressor will work nice for response and top end :)

i'm sorry but how does boost doesn't hurt a motor? if the internals are too weak to support the explosion/extra volume in the cylinders they will bend/break.

also you are correct about the bigger turbine not being needed. for the full built engine i'm thinking of using a Garrett GT2560R or something similar to that turbo. i have seen in person what it can do on a 1.5l Honda engine and i believe i'll get the results i want.(sorry about the t3/t4 comment earlier...)
