550 hp does not mean it will produce 550 hp. two completely different issues. the turbo plays a big parts in the amount of air moved through the engine. and of course, you need the fuel to get the power. here's a prediction. you start the break in period. you have a few stop light sits where the other car plays and pulls on you because you aren't running boost. then you get impatient. you decide it's time to stop getting taken advantage of. you decide up goes the boost. however you do it by playing the guessing game. 'if i crank up boost, i'll get more power. and, yeah, this seems to be about right for fuel.' then you do one, maybe two stoplight pulls until the engine decides that it really doesn't like to be driven lean, or maybe the cylinders are getting washed down and your oil smells like fuel. but hey, i took that one guy from the light...
i like your optimistic thinking. but i also know that hp doesn't come from simple little things. nor does it come from the material the components are made of. i hope you do get some power from your engine, you have waited long enough and spent enough, that you need a reward. just be patient with it. if you really want it to last, do not add boost and try to get more power without an aftermarket ecu...there, i told you so...:)
