I'll plot the data for you on those compressor maps, but to put it short, those K26's will only give about 290 safe HP, with much more lag than a stock K24 and boost coming on around 3300 RPMs in the higher gears.
What sort of HP are you looking at? Do you actually have one of those turbos?

'98 Silver Grey 2.7T S4, dual 2.75" turbo back exhaust with no cats, FMIC, BIG injectors, 10 Bar motorsport fuel pump, modded RS4 turbos, tubular exhaust manifolds, custom intakes, RS4 MAF, Bilstein PSS9, H&R ARBs, 19" BBS CH, custom remap, 511 BHP/505ft-lbs
I had my heart (and wallet) set on a K26/27 hybrid, but after hearing what's been said... there isn't much below 4k rpm?
Will an RS2 item get to peak boost earlier and hold it for a reasonable length of time, suitably chipped by you, Mihnea? I'm thinking I might go for an RS2 job instead now because I tend to do most of my driving at 3k rpm, and usually like to 'go' when some **** in a Beemer or Modern 'uber hatch' thinks he can park up my **** at that speed. With a k26/27 hybrid, I'd have to do things like change gear and stuff - seems like far too much effort!
I'm looking for 360hp upwards, but more importantly, a nice spread of healthy torque from around 2750-3000 rpm onwards to about 6k rpm, which is when I change up. (Currently my boost seems to 'turn off' around 6500, so it's pointless going much beyond 6, unless in 1st or 2nd.)
I'm trying to find some time so I can get the bits on:
RS2 EM (got)
RS2 IC (got)
RS2 Injectors (got)
Milltek downpipe and sports Cat (or a custom job - still to buy)
Milltek cat back (already on)
RS2 head gasket (still to buy)
7a Camshaft (still to buy)
Turbo (was set on a K26/27, but think an RS2 would be more.. .'me')
Samcos to stop stuff leaking (just waiting on delivery)
If needed, a cone filter, though I've yet to be convinced of any merits of those, apart from a nice sucking sound (generally sucking as much hot air in as cold, usually, I'd expect.)
What can I expect with this, roughly? Hp, and torque, wise, if you weave your magic Mihnea?
I have only one stipulation. To leave the guy at work standing in his Espirit. Oh, and the guy in his Impreza. And the guy in his Civic Type R, the other one in his Impreza Wrx Sti PPP and the fellow in his W8 Passat (soon to be Nissan 350z or R32 Golf). Ok, that's more than one stipulation, but you get the idea!
