not taking a jab at you. just making sure the op understands that there is a major difference in boost between the two, just like fact that 11psi on one turbo is not the same as 11psi on a different turbo.

Here is just a quick HDR... Front lip still needs to be put back on, but I have a concern about clearing the driveway with the lip on. Here is a picture so you can see my concern

if you wanna make over 250 hp then you'll need to replace the internals (rods, pistons, bearings, etc)
I ran mine at 8 psi for over a year and no problems. I'm built now tho and 17 psi is WAYYYYY better lol
