I'd say more like 500!
Yep, around about, I'll be happy with 5**, I met a chap with a K24, exact same turbo in an aerodeck (I think)... 608bhp and starting to get on boost at 2.5k... that will be lovely if we can close to that.A bit of detail on the spec (so far):
Fully built and Darton lined K24 Block
K20 head - 3 angle seats, mild porting
Inconel exhaust valves, Clockwise motion "bee hive" springs
Clockwise motion "turbo" cams with adjustable exhaust pulley
CP 9.5:1 forged pistons and Clockwise motion forged rods - tool steel wrist pins
Water pump delete (BMW electric pump) - smaller alternator
Jenvey "Turbo" twin plenum / inlet manifold - 70mm J37 TB
ID1000 injectors, Clockwise billet rail
DW fuel pump and fuel regulator
Custom built Inconel equal length tubular manifold
Custom built roof mounted intercooler
Owen Developments ODGT3579HTA m-spec Turbo, Tial exhaust housing
Tial MVR 44mm wastegate
3.5" turbo back exhaust
Wastegate v-band to allow either through silencer or "screamer" option
Quaife 5 speed sequential with Quaife LSD ("race" ratios)
Quartermaster ceremetalic clutch
Clockwise lightweight flywheel
Efi Euro 4 ECU
HP Electronik PDM
Aim MXS dash
Comments and suggestions welcome

Are you not afraid you might of ruined it?
Nothing against the standard of work more that you've taken a car that has a nice balance of power, grip ,weight and you've massively skewed that triangle towards power.
Ruined? Hmmm... I would say it is "changed dramatically".. it's not really an Elise anymore, but I bought the car with this outcome in mind from the outset... so it will be what it will be... which will probably be quite scary Nothing against the standard of work more that you've taken a car that has a nice balance of power, grip ,weight and you've massively skewed that triangle towards power.
There are a few 111 based cars running this kind of power and more, not least of which is Ronin's RS211, which I have had the pleasure of riding around the canyons in (EPIC!)... Jamie Wilsons Time attack car... and a fair few more (not to mention the Hennessey venom GT which has over 1000bhp and still same chassis albeit extended).. the chassis can take a LOT more power than the 156bhp it left the factory with.
I have upgraded the other areas, and I probably will readdresses these again later once it's running... it has 4 pots, nitrons, spherical bearings, wider rubber etc.
The aero will of course be addressed and I have MY2010 Exige parts ready to fit (the car started out as a 2005 111S Rover engine Elise)... the roof will have to have quite a big scoop for the intercooler too... I'll deal with that bit once it's running and mapped.
