can you obtain 200RWHP form a starion to be reliable for a daily driver,i alwasys thought turboed cars where easy to get big gains,i was wondering what the steps are to gain this and how much,any help would be great thanks..

Yes. Multipoint. Hiflowed turbo. Money. Forged internals if you want to go further.

To make a good reliable 200rwhp, you would probably need Programmable (aftermarket)injection.
You can increase boost, high flow your turbo, exhaust, cams, etc.. but you will reach a limit due to the standard ECU.
Programmable ECU in itself should give you good gains when properly tuned and will allow you to make more mods, which will give you more mods.
The skys the limit but reliable power cost money.

You should be able to get close to that with the stock injection, a good example would be redzone's orange starion. Going aftermarket injection will give more scope for modifications later on, as well as improve drivability if its tuned correctly.

I had close 2 200 hp atw with std injection & computer at 15 psi

Mine when dynoed was about 210rwhp with bigger turbo and aftermarket ecu on 8psi.

mine had to have over that with the stock turbo and ecu, it did 13.92.. but i was running a 2.4 head with VR4 pistons, doing 200 atw is fraught with danger when running stock pistons, your mapping has to be PERFECT!

i would suggest a rebuild with the above mentioned parts first, then develop the combination!

Agreed!

My old JA made 190ish using a T3 off an FJ20, GTiR cooler, 3" exhaust and 9-12 psi (0.48A/R too small, boost crept with revs :()

It ran strong for over a year until I pulled it down to go to the next level.
