NO!!!!
These forums are horrible for people to post shit about stuff they have little personal experience with. I'm very comfortable with my S2K putting down 350 rwhp. That's somewhere in the 380 horsepower range. Stock block.
A turbo S2k running 300 horsepower, will not even begin to be a strain on the engine ***AS LONG AS IT IS TUNED PROPERLY***. Use the AEM, get a turbo tuned by a professional, and the engine will happily run to redline without blowing up.
Sheesh.

. 300rwhp is nothing for the engine or the cooling system. The cooling system on the s2k is more than efficient enough to handle it. The under hood temps may go up, but the coolant temps will stay the same as a N/A F20C running hard. The oil may go up a few degrees more but oil coolers are cheap and easy to install if you track the car on a road course and are under boost for 20 minutes non-stop.Most of the s2k's with blown engines are either from improper tuning or no tuning at all. Go use the search button and PM all the people with troubles. Improper tuning or some other variable.
Yes it's 11:1 compression. It's also forged internals. Running low boost (7psi) is really no stress the stock block cant handle.
Honestly if you have to ask a web board what you need to make 400+whp on a S, you're either (a)not ready for it or (b)wont be involved in any part of picking out the parts for your install. My suggention, when you've got your turbo kit and AEM EMS, get it tuned at 7psi and see how you like it. Want to go faster, just goto a well known performance shop in your area or ship it out to other engine builders with experience on the F20C and just give them a lump of money. It's a lot of parts and a lot of money. After that, gather another lump of money and spend it on you're differential and various parts of the drivetrain.
Your question of what you need to make 400+whp on an S. Here's the short and simple answer:
A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY

350 rwhp is closer to 400-425 hp range, not 380 hp. Usually you are looking at about 17%-18% driveline loss.
