could i get around 400hp/400lb tq with a turbo or would it be like 500hp/400lb tq?

Do a search for turbo dynos or Factor X or Cartek. Or just read everything in the FI section and you should find what you need.

Typicaly though, I have seen 500/400.

The more inefficient your engine/turbo system is, the higher your peak tq will be compared to peak hp.
