I'd say that's 700hp easy with that turbo. That car is purpose built, not just some idiot with loads of money and no common sense. A friend took me for a ride in his T78 Supra only making 18psi or so because he didn't have enough fuel... It blew the tires off when it spooled and pulled like nothing I've ever felt in my life. 18psi may not even be in that turbos efficiency range, a smaller turbo might actually make more power at that pressure and yes, there was lag but the car length or two he gave up (primarily due to the auto tranny) would have been nothing compared to foot ball fields he'd put on the average modded street car. T78s run 9s through the 1/4 and the turbo on this BMW looks about the same size.
