If you're gaining 100 whp that has to be a difference of almost 50% boost or more, which in every other stock turbo car I've seen, would need bigger injectors, fuel pump, oil cooler, and FMIC to operate without heat soak, knock (there must be a timing advance in this tune - there's no way it's just from increased boost), etc
8 psi is stock boost. 360rwhp is far-fetched from tune only. See my post above. Now don't get me wrong, at 15-18psi you can easily be 350-390rwhp, but without any supporting mods you're raggin on the engine.
