I think you'll struggle to get over 500bhp with 7k.

Dave has spent that for 340bhp
You could do it, it just wouldn't last very long!!
There are a handful of people (on T5D5) that have successfully achieved a reliable 400-450bhp, even with lot a track use. There's a pretty tried and tested method for achieving that kind of figure now, and £7k would be pushing your luck, being realistic, and that's excluding upgrading the rest of the car, i.e. suspension, brakes, lsd, etc... The trouble is if you genuinely hit 5-600bhp, which would be quite achievable with a big enough turbo, you're A) Going to have built a seriously unreliable machine and B) would probably be slower in the real world than the same car with 450bhp!

If I had my money & time again - I'd have used the 2.4 T5 bottom end.

Why does he need a stand alone ECU? He just needs to go somewhere that can remap and set the car up properly. He's 90% there from what I can tell. Isn't Daves goal 400bhp? With that turbo he shouldn't have to run super high boost. 400bhp from a GT30(??) should be easily achievable, even keeping sensible boost, thus keeping temps down and being ultra reliable.
