Not should, will, all things being equal and done properly.
Stopping them from breaking is easy enough, but it doesn't come cheap when we're talking lots of power, reliably.

Maybe I am expecting too much from the 4.0 i6 in na form...
Very likely.
They're a not a bad engine, but they're no 3.2L BMW M3 engine.

For road use, I suspect 200rwkw is their practical limit, which is really pretty bloody good.
But still a long way from what a turbo can easily achieve.
