Hi & Welcome to Pwrx....
Seriously you are DREAMING to think a stock EJ255 bottom end will yield 400hp for more than 10 minutes.
To get a RELIABLE (<-*keyword*) longterm 400hp you will need:
1.Proper Forged pistons & rods
2. Longer duration/ higher lift cams
3. Much bigger turbo
4. Front mounted intercooler
5. Modified crank oiling
6. Bigger fuel pump
7. Bigger injectors
8. Tougher clutch
9. maybe sleeving & closed decking the block
Do you have a spare $15k+?
What power do your mates reckon they're making with their turbo swaps???
