Default Next stage question

Hello there, currently have a rather tweaked 2001 WRX pushing out 350bhp with various mods....

I've been told the next stage is a 2.5 sti bottom end with steel rods and all the trimmings with a TDO520G turbo....saying this (plus i'll be getting an fmic) should push me over the 400bhp and 400lbft mark.....

my question is will the TDO5 run "out of puff" too early?
and should I be aiming for a TDO6 or GT30?

I'm looking for usable/everyday power which I know I should get with the 5020G.....but my question is at what rev range will it die out?
the normal 6500?

any help is much appreciated

IIRC Steven recommended a 20g on a 2.5 to do exactly what you want it to do. That should make you look even more dashing although it's hard to believe

Huh?

don't mean to be dense but are you saying trust the man and go for it?

Go for it! Spend yet more money on a car worth practically nothing! Smart move.
