This is where I confess that the main guy closed up shop a year ago and now works out of his barn out in the country . Pretty sure he still builds engines though
Link below - I'm sure he could build you something pretty orgasmic for less than what you would pay there ....

You'll get used to it, then want more, quickly exceed the GReddy's limitations, then get a new turbo and open a whole new world.

I'm already getting a little "tired" of 9psi.

330rwhp @ 9psi is damn good.

I hope I can expect similar numbers with the MM greddy upgrade.

Well, by itself, the MM upgrade won't make quite that much power.
But there are supporting mods that will.
You already have some of them, I see.

AEM intake (modified for the GReddy kit), open midpipe, good exhaust and ignition upgrade will put you in the ballpark (if not past), depending on fuel quality, engine health and location.
Water/meth will put you over.
