Again I think there's too many variables, like condition of engine, mangement, turbo size, your setup, etc, that could give you different numbers, but if you want a ballpark figure, look at most of the guys here running d-series setups. They get anywhere from 170-200 hp to the wheels. So the least you might get I would think should be around 175@8psi.

You can't just throw numbers out there without all the details of the setup (the size of the turbo for one). 10 psi on a small IHI turbo isn't the same as 10 psi on a big T4 turbo. Just tune your car well and boost 8 psi... you will be fine.

Yep that's why I said again that there are too many variables. But you are right 160-170 sounds reasonable, but again, we can't really give you a specific number, as far as your original question, you will be fine @8psi.
