So you have a ported valvetrain and diamond forged pistons + a spacer + intercooler?
I mean this depends on the tune and how much boost you plan to run but based on what I have seen on this forum it will be under 300hp.

Which turbo are you using?
The pistons, camshafts, valve springs, injectors, intercooler, and ported intake manifold don't do much to create more power above and beyond the tune. However, they do allow for the potential of greater flow through the engine, (which makes more power), IF you have a turbo that's up for the job. The factory design of the turbo/manifold as an assembly puts limits on power potential, as it is restrictive even if there are modifications to it. You can only shove so much through a tiny hole.
When I had a ZZP V3, I made around 220 WHP. See my build thread for details. I had all the engine modifications you listed plus a few more.

Yes I have a little more than that diamond forged pistons and ZZ performance valve springs and cam with the ported intake green fuel injectors upgraded intercooler blow off valve and the stock Turbo with a Billet compressor wheel on it I haven't ran the car yet I'm in the process of getting a new computer then I will see what it'll do
And one shop that was going to do it wanted to charge me around $1,000 and up to make one

That is typically the cost for a custom manifold

Howie from HEPerformance made mine. Lead time was around 3 months. He ceramic coated the manifold at my request. The quality was superb! I paid $535 for the manifold plus $170 for the ceramic coating.
T2 (T25) Manifold
Manifold ceramic coated
Manifold installed with studs and new nuts
The turbo mounted, turbo also ceramic coated

Well you could reach out to the shop he mentioned and ask him to make one. I might do the same thing just for future possible shenanigans.

No. I was letting you know in case you wanted to call Howie at HEPerformance to make one for you. He has the design on file. He used to make turbo kits for Sonics.
