I think it's a vf35, I have the same model and it's been mapped by Andy F to 355bhp. Don't think they will do much more than that.

If it's a PPP then I guess it's a UK so will have an IHI VF35 IIRC
BHP good for 340, torque less but still over 300

400 is a no-no for the VF35 unless you start adding methanol (a lot of methanol).
At the boost / flow required for 400 BHP the VF35 will be heating the air rather than compressing it efficiently.

I think Andy does a billet 20g that won't be far off the four hundred mark.

He said he was often surprised how well some of the last blobs perform. ( or words to that effect )

SC40 is a rebadged Blousch which is meant to be good as it the Alan Jeffrey 400 BHP jobby, who's name defeats me.
Then there is the MD 123 series
Choices, choices
