Before people ask, yes I have run a search and am finding all sorts of misleading information. I would like to know what modifications would need to be taken in order to pull 230 rwkw. At the moment the motor is a genuine A8 turbo motor with 240,000ks and runs a Gktech intercooler, 5 speed manual, and is running 12 pound boost. The head has been reconditioned and has had a new head gasket not long ago. It also has a 2.5 inch exhaust. Turbo is a stock t3, but has been rebuilt. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

What cost am I looking at roughly for all this? Would a KKR480 turbo do the job?

Yes a KKR480 will easily put out that power. Get a 3" manrel bent exhaust as well.
