As IJ said, it depends. What turbo, how much fuel, what intercooler / hardpipe setup, and what exhaust? Do you have any headwork? All these things will affect how much air can flow through the engine.

Furthermore, there's the tune to consider. Members with a good tune have run 500 hp on stock pistons without any damage. Members with a bad tune have blown them up with 250 hp.
