It's got to be spot on healthy first... Anything that resembles a weakness... sensors not working properly, boost leaks (a classic nightmare fault), fuel starvation at full boost etc will all become much bigger issues when upping the boost...

A kkk24k is good for circa 300bhp, anything after that is a turbo change... Conventional wisdom says 350 for standard rods, (achieved with RS2 inlet/exhaust etc) but I've seen 400 running standard bottom ends... Then, after the 'scat' rods and modified pistons rebuild on the bottom end and custom remap it's just a case of modified inlet, exhaust, turbo, intercooler and fuel/mixture control... All the way to the 1000bhp blocks...
