The only way to get to 350 would be external wastegate on race gas, or meth injection .
I guess I didn't say it well, I know there is a limit on the power of the stock turbo on pump, I more meant that if you ended up with 350whp (i.e. a 20g turbo swap) that the engine would take that power level forever without a problem.
