If your goals are 500whp, the TD06 wouldnt be the best choice for a budget build... The gentlemen on the MR2OC like Eric6 spend lots of money trying to break the 500whp barrier in order to break the record set back in the day by . Substantial VE modification were necessary for him to make the power he already has, and if you continue to read through his thread, you will see that he has had to make ALOT of specialized modification to his engine to top out at like 458whp. On top of that he is in an MR2 which has substantially less drivetrain losses than the alltrac, meaning if you had the exact same motor as Eric, you would probably have less than 420 at the wheels.
My advice to you is to look at getting a precision 5858 or 6262 turbo, you will save yourself money and a big headache. In the turbo world it is better to oversize your turbo by a little bit that way you are operating within its efficiency range.
Here is a short list of the minimum things you will need for 500whp on the 5858 or 6262:
Standalone EMS: $1500 +500 for wiring and sensors
Forged Pistons, Upgraded Rod Bolts and a fully rebuilt bottom end (gaskets and rebuild costs included): $2000
Upgraded fuel pump: $150
1000cc injectors (Recommend ID1000): $500
Precision 5858 turbo: $1000
Tuning: $700
Custom Intake Manifold (recommended for power production and preventing lean condition in cyl2 and cyl3) $800
Custom Exhaust manifold $800 (most big turbos will not work with that crappy log manifold of yours)
Thats about $8k by my calculations, and thats only if you do the majority of the labor yourself. If you have never rebuilt a motor before, its not recommended you do, as it requires many special measurement tools and its recommended you have some experience with it.
I know on the low level I say $8k, but in reality expect to spend in the realm of 10k on your engine before you hit 500ahwp...

dont talk to me like im a moron, if you read my earlier post you would have seen im gathering parts for my new build,
In response to your statement, understand that parts alone will not make your build work... The parts you choose must compliment eachother. Your turbo choice in particular will hinge on your motor's ability to move any given quantity of air through it. If you choose poorly you will get to deal with fun things like compressor surge (like eric6) or unsatisfying turbo lag. I will stress this point. When you can read a turbo compressor map come back here and talk like you are actually educated about the parts you want and have picked for your build.
