320 would be awesome though 
it made 330bhp on 034's before it cracked in several places.. The XS mani went on then and did very similar power, and flowed much better than the stock ex mani.. The XS one lasted surprisingly well, but did'nt have to last to long to outlive the 034 thing.
water meth and largeport head also remember.. so it can run lots of timing where smallports can't
what are you using for a gasket?
check the hotside clamps flat to the manifold before fitting it... It can be VERY close.. and if it contacts elsewhere it will hold the turbo off the flange face and blow
Danny had run it for a few months before I baught it from him and it has no signs of cracks ect.
I have a largeport head, largeport inlet manifold & 70mm tb and will be fitting AEM WMI before its mapped.
I think I am going to machine them both flat for piece of mind, and I have baught some gasket material and am going to make my own.
I think it may be a revised version as its only a few months old, its also ceramic coated which should help things a little. As you say fingers crossed
Quick update, turbo's all back together, and have just ordered a Spec stage3+ paddle clutch, its rated to 525 ft/lbs so wont have any slippage problems.
I must say I received top service from Spec and would recommend them, After hearing Alex's problems he had with them I made sure I got written confirmation of a warranty on the parts.
Done me a good deal too!

same as mine.. I will say that when I removed my last one, a chunk of one of th epuk segments was missing.. no functional problem, but it had fallen off/dusted into bits sat in the bottom of the bell housing.
zero slippage.. which is more than I can say for the tyres - lol
I dont think mine will endure the kind of torture yours does! Good to know its very capable though. What torque levels are you running? And whats it like, is it very harsh? Spec said its a very drivable.
Started wiring up all the power to my gauges tonight, got dark though so I will have to finish it tomorrow.
Boost and AFR in the pillar and EGT & Oil temp in the centre.

Cheers, I think I am going to spray the shiftbox matt black to blend it in a bit more, im not sure if I like the colour it is now.
Quick update.
Bolted the turbo, manifold, oil lines ect onto the engine and moved the abs unit out the way to avoid clashing with the 3" tip.
Also ordered..
- Eliptically grooved 280mm Brembo front disks
- Eliptically grooved rear disks
- DS2500 front pads
- Pagid rear pads
- Braided brake lines
- Hi temp brake fluid
