You could build a 550 HP turbo car but I doubt its manners on the street are going to be as good as the 300 HP street car.

A friend's turbo mustang made 494 rwhp and 536 ft/lbs of torque on 9 lbs of boost in 103* heat. I'm sure that equates to close to 550 flywheel hp. It's his every day driver and drives like stock. His combo: Trick Flow heads and intake, stock cam, bigger fuel system and of course, the turbo kit. Most people would be surprised how well a 500 hp turbo mustang drives. Like Sky said, keep your foot out of it so that it doesn't build boost, and you would never know the car actually makes that much power.
