any suggestions or advice on this.

Where exactly are they getting that data? The GT-K 500 has a pretty appropriately sized turbine wheel in the form of a F1 T3 Stage 3 turbine wheel. You could go with a F1 T3 Stage 2 in a custom configuration if you are really worried about. My only concern is that 400 WHP would be getting to the upper limit of what the Stage 2 turbine wheel could flow without backpressure. However if as you said lag is your biggest concern run the F1 T3 Stage 2 in a custom turbo config with the GTK61 compressor wheel.
