4AGZE tech questions

I am STILL in the market for a GZE rolla but I have a few questions to ask.
Standard what do they roughly put out in kw? I heard about 120kw at the fly. I would be aiming for around 150 at the treads, is it possible with the bellow mods.
From what I have heard they run 8 PSI of boost out of the box and your can get pulley kits to take them all the way to 15 PSI. What is a safe boost level for standard internals and what power gains would you be looking at with this safe boost level + bigger front mounted cooler + exhaust extractors and if required after market management?
I have also heard that it you crank the boost you got to mod the standard blow off/bleed valve to stop the charged air from just escaping from it when boost level gets higher than stock.
From what GZE's I have seen in magazines one had your run of the mill type 1 BOV and the other a type 2. Does this mean you completely remove the standard unit? Also do these things actually blow off (trademark turbo pitssh) or are they just used to bleed the air? For what I gather about forced induction cars anything pumping out around 12 PSI at around 5000RPM that has the gate shut on it (jump off the gas to change gears) is gonna blow off.
