That sounds like a good setup for sure. I had basically the same setup on my 1jz and made 443rwhp @ 17.5psi for over a year and a half with no problems at all. I took the 1jz out in favor of a 2jz block. The verdict is still out on whether or not I made a wise decission.
I would soooooo not trust a walbro for those kind of power levels.
My shit breaks all the time, but it's not necessarily power related, just me not replacing old components.
-Seized bottom end (forgot to replace thrust washers with stiffer clutch)
-PS pump bit the dust (o-ring got old, and sucked in air)
-Overheated, (15 year old rad cap broke)
-Water pump leaks (so many different reasons)
-Turbo oil drain leaked (cheap hose)
-Killed a turbo (compressor surge. One BOV was not enough)
Other than stupid stuff I didn't replace, it's been strong. My advise, if you want to build a powerful car, start by building a reliable car. New OEM everything that looks worn or old. If you want the perfect example of how to do a reliable build-up, go look up "Jim R's BHG B-gone rebuild" on
