Just shows what some decent management can achieve. Once you have the freedom to manage the engine correctly for the blower then the limit becomes the blower system. Note that although C's reckon they can run the same boost it is not reliable and still has detonation issues and problems associated with modified, aging factory ECUs. The Adaptronic is much better but may need a little help if you're getting carried away (like I am). You can't have VVTi control and electronic throttle control (with traction), variable intake runner control, fan control, gearbox and probly some I've missed. Either some add-ons or a more complex management system will be needed for mine. The Adaptronic people are keen to help so it will probly go that way.

The profile is vague for a reason. At least one Federal copper (the local blokes for us here) is a member here and I know several read the forums (including my Brother-in-Law who talks to my mother....).
Mine will be N/A for starters with 2002 Celsior VVTi 1UZFE and R154. I have a feeling that it won't need a blower, but if it does a ProCharger will be the go (VVTi and variable manifolds etc would have to go for a Roots or twin screw).
