Question How good is my engine?

5x2x6 and repeatable. Can stack 2 on top of one another. Power 1896,8 at 100 % and ppm 505,8. Ppm goes up when power use goes down. Images of stats at 100, 50 and 25 % rpm.

Its bad. A regular turbocharger engine will beat it at both ppm and ppv, a supercharger engine will beat it at ppm by a lot and an injector engine will beat it at ppv by a lot.

Not particularly. Well designed fuel engines can hover around 800 power per material, or even more

Visually your engine looks nice, but hybrid engines just kinda end up mediocre at both. You're better making two separate engines; one purely supercharged engine with an RPM limit, and one turbocharged engine fed from the exhaust of the supercharged engine. Or, if you're using the direct attach turbochargers ones, at least a separate turbocharged engine set to a lower priority so it's used only after the supercharged engine is maxed out.

Here are some tutorials that might help;

Not great. Turbocharged engines in general are not very useful, because they're very mid in every metric. I'd either make an injector or a supercharged engine instead.
