I'd think this would be less than ideal unless you had a built bottom end..
It wouldn't make sense to up the boost while keeping the same 2.5" exhaust diameter. Uping the boost will just create more backpressure and more heat to the engine. Plus, you get slower spool the turbo is pushing more into the engine but it's not exiting fast enough. I'm not saying that 500rwhp is not attainable with a 2.5 but at what cost? longevity maybe?
