Im hoping it will make good power I was going to have to pay $750 to convert my HTA82 to a HTA86 anyways, so I opted to pay a little bit more and buy a used HTA94 from lilev23 who was selling it at a great price with less than 1k miles on it. I was boarderline whether I should go this big, but the car has always been a dyno queen and will be a weekend warrior when I get back. Everytime it has seen a track, it has broken something 
last time the oil pump seized and my timing belt snapped. Im hoping it wont be too laggy but I figure this will be the last time I have to upgrade turbos 
I have already been through a stocker, green, black, and hta82.

A couple updates on the build. I am currently still in Afghanistan and will be returning to prep the car for English in late August. Since I have been gone, I have bought some goodies as a present to myself lol I just purchased an oem JDM rear from Driveline, Tein Flex coilovers with EDFC, Enkei RPF1s in Matte Black 18x9.5 +15, and IX seats. The build is still consisting of a ER 2.4LR, forward facing hta 3794, magnus, ect. This is probably the last update until the car goes into the shop in August. Wife is fed up with all these parts that just happen to arrive at the house haha

Have you considered the STM 650 cams? They are having another limited run of them. STM has also had a lot of success using the skunk 2 intake manifold that they massage. I'm sure Aaron will point you in the right direction.

Update: The garage opener was dropped off to English last week since I will be back in Afghanistan next week. They will be picking it up when they get a chance.
A couple changes that will most likely be taking place. After talking to Myles and having them discuss my goals/build, the engine will probably be changed from a LR 2.4 to a 2.2L build. We feel that this engine will compliment the HTA3794 and make the car a beast top end wise. We were also thinking about the compression ratio and changing it from a 9:1 to a 10.5:1 since the car has only seen E85 over the last year. Any thoughts on a 2.4 compared to a 2.2 build? And any thought on changing the compression ratio? Just trying to get an idea of what everyone else was thinking...personally, I feel a 2.2L will benefit the HTA94 due to being able to take the RPMs out a bit more than a 2.4 and the HTA94 being such a big turbo.
The car will be a weekend/sunny day car as I already purchased a truck to DD from now on.
