Ceramic coated exhaust
That's quite a lot of work, although it does look rather nice. You'll probably see zero hp gains, sorry to say. But over the long run it should look nice.
As for that sillyness in your signature, may god help you.

My Christmas present will be to source one of the new 10.5 turbos off an '05 (buy it used) and then send it to forced performance. I'll have them port the turbo, see if I can get a ti turbine wheel, and ceramic coat the exhaust housing to go with my GT fabrications ceramic coated 3" O2 housing
Keep in mind you may have to buy a different O2 housing to fit that "newer" turbo... I believe it has already been posted that the newer turbo has a different O2 housing part number. Now it remains to be seen whether the different year parts will bolt up or not.

I didn't reaqlize the '05 turbo was better. How hard will it be to find a used one though? I guess maybe junk yards after someone totals one. Or maybe if someone upgrades to an aftermarket turbo they would sell the stock turbo. Let me know if you are able to find one and what you had to pay for it...
I'm assuming someone will upgrade to a different turbo pretty quickly. A lot of people want a "better" evo (including me). The new '05 turbos have a dual circular wastegate, IIRC.
