509whp 35R X
Josh brought his car in after some careful planning and with some specific goals in mind. He wanted 500whp, he wanted it on pump, and he needed it as snappy as possible.
After some debating about a TS setup over the Single on a 35R equipped X, we landed with a tried and true HTA3582 surrounded by an ETS turbo kit. A 3.5" intercooler and single exit exhaust rounded up the mods. A stock pump teamed with an inline 255 feeding a set of FIC900s resulted in some really nice gains.
Here are the results-

After our recent testing with EGT in the X we opted to leave it on the rich side for extended safety. This car still has stock cams and as mentioned is on 92 octane so we left it where it is nice and safe. As you can see though this turbo really wants to stretch its legs so either more boost on racegas or a bigger motor would really come in handy I think.

Debatable...tuning is important though if you are going to do it.
I have seen X rods hate life much more with higher torque then revving to 8k. I don't think its too big of an issue.

It is not a twin scroll. The reason is the biggest housing is the 1.06 T4 and I dont think that is a good match for how well the 4B11 breathes. Stock cams dont affect spool adversely, no.
Yeah boost hit 27 peak and then tapered down to 26 out the top. The 23.7 you saw is lag in the dyno recording the MAP sensor input relative to rpm.
You want the power further to the right? I presume you mean to the left?

Murlo, you kind of answered another question I had. If one had dyno queen aspirations and wanted the most hp possible, would it less stressful on the 4B11 to increase the torque and only rev to 7,500 rpms, or wind it out to 8,000 rpms? The good thing about increasing the redline is you only add additional stress when you're revving it that high. Increased torque would be there at all times (for better or for worse.)
With the redline increased, this car makes great torque from 5,000 to 8,000 rpms. 3,000 rpms of usable power ain't too shabby.
The power numbers are pretty incredible as well.
