Im removing what I have now and going with a new FP red w/ 80mm inlet + porting. Can I still achieve my goal of anything over 400 on a mustang dyno on 93oct with the stock actuator that comes with this turbo? are there any downsides to running the stock internal verse the external? I hate when externals dump so I do not want a dumptube.

Im also going back and forth on changing my IC piping. Right now I dont even know what brand it is, but its black piping and looks a bit weak. I want to get the best flowing parts I can find so I can make nice / clean and smooth power.

My setup will be as follows.

fp red (ported)
perrin fmic
forge bov
hallman pro rx
hks intake
hks 272's e/i
fic 880's
walbro 255
stock turbo manifold (for now)
stock o2 housing (for now)
buscher 3" tbe + 2 bullet setup
act clutch & flywheel

and other misc things.

How much would I benefit by porting the stock o2 + manifold?
Will it lower the spool time some? Im all about fast spool.

As for ic piping, what do you guys all recommend and run?

I think thats all for now, Im looking to make average or above
average power with the setup I have.

Boost leak tested entire car and no leaks cept for tb shaft seals,
which Im currently replacing right now. so the entire system should
be leak free for now.

does that upper ic piping seem sufficient enough? I bought the car with mods, and the guy I bought it from isnt that great with knowing what all was on it.
