Default what is the cheapest turbos that max out between 450-550 whp?

just like it says

57 and 60 trim are no good on my 1.8 20v VW motor
the reason im posting this here is you guys have more open minds

i could deal with something a little larger, but regardless its going to take race gas and a lot of boost to make that much power so keep that in mind

im thinking BW either 256,258,259 or a t3/gt40 AKA blowzilla

trying to stay pretty cheap

t3 flanged

can a t3t4 50 trim make 450-500whp?

im really leaning toward a BW turbo or the t3gt40 or in other words a journal bearing gt35 thats about as big as i want to go

also keep a 7500 rev limit in mind, until i can upgrade the valvetrain

60-1 stage 3 .63, made 520-530 very easy at 23-25 psi and more when pushed.
