Whatever the Godspeed "GT35R" can throw at it with good tuning. Head to the tuner's and find out what it'll do.. that's what the dyno is for.

Take care and good luck to you.

Doesn't this technically count as "bench racing?"

Since most of the time the Chinese clones don't use the same wheel sizes as the genuine unit they are copying (mostly smaller than they are supposed to be, improper blade count, poor wheel aerodynamics, even totally incorrect wheels) it's a crapshoot as to what kind of power they can produce. Typically they perform much more poorly than their genuine counterparts, making terrible power no matter how much pressure you run, and them there's the bigger issue of longevity.

Some of these turbos have been dead out of the box, die shortly after initial startup, don't make it off the dyno, and die pretty quick on the street you will likely not get the unit to operate long enough to measure performance. Although sometimes a unit here and there will run forever but it's rare and even then most of these cases are units that are sized entirely too large for their application and run very low pressure and thus low shaft speeds which usually doesn't put any sizable amount of load on the thrust bearing which is what usually fails on chinachargers

You'll find out when you tune.

Oooooooooooooor you could take apart the turbo, take multiple high def pics on all of it's components, take measurements of the wheel (include pictures of that as well)
Take a video of yourself playing with the shaft, put a fan or something like an rc jet turbine to spin the blade as fast as possible, then use a drip system aligned perfectly with the edges of the wheel and see how many times it squirts water all over your face/camera (since it's probably well 'balanced') or you can use a high speed shot to show the wheel in slow mo.
Put your thermometer on the end to test the iats (forget the intercooler I heard godspeed's make the air even hotter)
Finally, slap it on, max out the psi, fuel, and timing all at once and see how many horsepowers it has and how fast it goes (in your backyard of course) and use a stopwatch to see how long it lasts.....

Oooooooooooor get rid of that thingy and throw on a real whooshinator....err I mean turbo

Rest of your setup seems stout enough for 500. All that remains is the tuner and whether or not the turbo can do turbo things
