It would help if we could understand the question. Are you asking us how much power you should be able to get out of that, or is the reference to "price" a suggestion that the above is for sale?

So you are running a 2.5 on a 2l ecu map with a different turbo and using a fuel cut defender to remove boost cut etc.
I'd start worrying about where to get it rebuilt than what power it is running.
On borrowed time imho

Yikes. You've gone to the time and expense of getting a tidy engine built and are skimping on the management to an extent where you're putting the investment at significant risk. A bit short-sighted don't you think?

Rather you than me, especially as the two absolutely critical things in these circumstances - a wideband AFR meter and a knock monitor - are missing from your list of ingredients.

i dont think you are getting this, the big hint is get a remap or be prepaired for a very hefty bill coming your way. you can not run a 2.5 on a std 2lt sti ecu safely it needs to be remapped asap

just a quick question who built this and were you not strongly advised to get it mapped

It would be ideal but not essential.
Main thing is to get it setup before you kill that motor

I presume it is a 92~96 car?

so main choices are ESL daughter board remap, or SimTek.. the boost controller could be removed and sold if you wanted, or kept.

you don't seem to be getting it.. it will blow up if you don't, you have many mods including larger engine, headers, head work, porting on turbo, all effect the fuelling and ignition advance an engine should be running.. you then have a boost controller and no boost cut.. you are very much on borrowed time.

It might be, but it sounds more like a naive noob and a car whose previous owner spent a little too much time reading japanese performance car magazines.
