2012 Evo X - MHI - 93 - Boostin tuned
Picked up the car last Friday after a few more bolt ons, including a new FP MHI 18k turbo. Ended up at 384 whp and 327 wtq at 26psi on 93 octane. For reference, when stock I believe it made ~220 whp.
Mod list:
ETS V2 Quiet TBE, recirc, resonated test pipe
ETS 4" FMIC (black, blue stencil) and U/LICP
ETS intake
MHI turbo, ported by BP
OEM exhaust manifold, ported by BP
GS 3 port EBC
Synapse BOV
FIC 1100
Aeromotive 340 lph fuel pump
TWM full shifter cage
Overall feels extremely good. Pulls to redline versus feeling flat with the stock unit. I think it makes for a great dd turbo.

Yes, keeping tq low for stock block/rod longevity. Under 400 tq is a function of dyno too - 320 on this mustang could be ~370 on dynojet, or more.
For everything, including labor I'd guess around $8k. I also have a TWM shifter cage, short shifter, and bushings that is about $700 of that. It was done in a few series, so I could have saved some by doing it altogether - I did a completely stock with EBC and tune, then TBE, intake, and IC piping and tune, then turbo, fuel, IC, and tune. Doing all at once would have cut out two tunes. That said, I like seeing how each phase has impacted the curves.

For me reliability was a big component of the purchase. It 'should' be OEM quality and last quite some time. Too new to know for sure, but that is the logic.
It is a great daily driver turbo. Provides enough grunt to keep you ahead of most cars, sounds better, and 'shouldn't' stress a stock block 'too' much. Again, time will tell.

Looks nice! I'm actually considering almost the exact same set-up as you and have been in touch with Boostin to get it done. Only difference is I don't have a BOV. My turbo blew so I need to upgrade and the MHI is a top choice. As far as the injectors, are they maxed out or is this still room for E85 in the future if you want?
