Default T5 - Handle 250rwhp ?

just as the topic suggest guys, can a stock au T5 from an I6 handle 250rwhp, i have a turbo set up, so power can be anywhere from 6psi - around 8-9 on a stock motor, everythign else is capable from providing alot more power, however if driven sensibly, would a T5 be capable in this guise ? if not, woudl a stock auto be the way to go ? at the moment, i am only turbo-ing my ute as i have all the gear to do it, reliability is a main issue, and of course i just want it to be fun to drive with, when the power bug again bites, it will be time to look into spending some more cash, however if this could just be answered it would be tops

thanks guys

and cwould it be possible to have peoples reccomendatiosn who have or have used this box ? thanks again

It will handle the power but its more the torque your putting out. with the turbo.
If you drive it sensibly the T5 will be ok.

No dumping, no power shifting/flatchanging, no pumping the clutch, and generally be nice to it, the T5 will be fine..
