You've spent a lot of money building a +500rwhp capable motor and are going to run it with a 250rwhp turbo and engine management setup. That's fine as long as you keep things sane for now while you save your money to finish it properly. Do not buy an emanage or any other piggyback at this time. Take it to a dyno and increase the boost starting from 10psi and watch the AFRs and listen for detonation until it reaches the point where it is not prudent to keep going. Do NOT exceed 18psi if you are using pump gas or 22psi if you run 100 octane. As soon as you can afford it, buy a stand alone and get the car properly tuned. Keep saving and then buy a good midsize turbo kit (either T3/T4, TD06 or GT30 based), bigger fuel system and retune the setup.

You've laid a good foundation, now it is up to you to either blow it up by going for too much too soon or build it into something strong by staying conservative while you save up to finish it properly.
