Especially running a bigger turbo outside of it's efficiency range (very low psi) you'll have a poor powerband, which when combined with a rear mount set up will compound the problem.
If you're only looking for 380-400whp, full bolt ons, small cam, and a tune will get you in that range and will be much faster than 380-400whp with the turbo set up you're considering. With a cam in that range as well the car will retain stock driveability, just with more power across the rpm range.

Thanks, bolt on's are what I'm looking at now.
I was debating about picking up a 228/228 .588/.588 114LSA cam but with a cam comes new pushrods and valves at the least. Then you might as well toss in a ported ls6 oil pump with ls2 timing chain since it's off. then you get into that mind set of "if I'm going to do this then might as well" next thing you know you're 3-4k deep with a monster lol.
I have a 01 so I'm assuming it still has the stock ls6 intake with 241 heads, might pick up a spare of each and get the intake/TB ported and do a valve job on the heads.
