I have a bit more advice when building your car eliteboi, if you decide to run your car on a dyno at some point, do not put excessive weight on the numbers it yields.

A dyno is just one of many very useful tools but it will not tell you how your car will ultimately perform in the real world, driving the car is the only way to find that out.

The important things are to think "efficiency" and dial everything in from top to bottom (do not over boost your turbo) and make sure that the greatest percentage of whatever power your engine is putting out, reaches the ground productively in every gear.
