turbo question

so this guy has a Td04l-14t turbo from a saab and most of what is needed to do the swap and he says it can make up to 400 hp on an lsj motor with just the turbo alone....but that seems a bit much to me. maybe i miss quoted him but i dont know to much about turbos so is there anyone on here who can clarify for me if those numbers are accurate or possible with this type of turbo?

Spending junkyard prices on a turbo set up is the beginning of a disaster in my opinion. And no it will not make 400

Always remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
