Doubt very much a TD04L could produce 300bhp without methanol or NOS.
The limit is the exhaust turbine denoted by the TD04 'L'
It's just too small to let 300bhp escape. I know through having my own hybrid TD04s built.
I've ended up with a TD04 with bigger exhaust turbine and compressor, which means it's no longer a TD04'L'.
It's great, over 300bhp/ftlbs excellent low down torque and even a substantial improvement off boost.
However I changed the turbo 5 times with 3 different hybrid designs due to poor machine workmanship from a dunce who took me for a ride.
It's a great road turbo now, but I suggest you just buy a TD04 Hybrid unit from Andy F.

whats the difference between the TD04 and the TD04L?
I have a TD04 and im around 300bhp.
It ran in at 280bhp an sincve then i've had a miltek de-cat downpipe, new headers (cant remember what make) and the boost has been raised from 0.7 to 1.0 bar

Its actually not that hard, just rare, I have had three cars run just over 300 (310 highest) on a TD04, depends if the turbo is good enough and has the right mods to allow the boost to stay up above 6k. You don't need a front mount or anything at that level but a decent set of right sized headers helps. One of the three had headers, the other two had std ones, decat, fuel pump, panel filter and remap on V Power or Tesco 99 then if it all comes together bingo.
