is that safe to run on stock block? And does it top at 550 or can be pushed if i ever decide to build the block?

Everyone has a different risk tolerance, but as the tq comes on more gradually and higher in the rpm band than the stock turbo as long as you have a good tune I think its ok. I've had that on my car for about 15k miles - 5 days at the dragon and a couple of track days so far with no issues. With e85 and a built motor that turbo could do mid 600s, but not much more than that. It is a good balance of top end and spool, if you want higher top end go with the 8374.

Indeed it's all about the tune when it comes to safely running any turbo upgrade. In fact the stock turbo running over 28 psi is perfectly capable of windowing your block if you try to get high boost at low RPM in tall gears without proper tuning. If you can get E85 in your area, consider going with a flexfuel setup as you can gain quite a bit of power without losing any spool and response which is a great benefit even if your MPG goes down 20-30% running it.

MHI-18k will hit 400 whp pump gas and 450-460 whp on E85.

EFR 7163 kit will be closer to 430-450 whp max on pump and 500-520 whp on E85 depending on twinscroll or open scroll setup. In general the EFR's seem to offer better spool versus the power they can flow which is nice.

The EFR7670 is capable of 490 whp on pump depending on boost and closer to 570 whp on E85 maxed out.\

Going bigger than that I would talk to a tuner more directly to plan the build out. Generally the larger turbo you go it will slow the spool and response at lower RPM's. If tuned for a stock block you will need to scale back the boost/torque a bit to stay safe but it's definitely something that can be done by a competent tuner.

These are all low reading Mustang Dyno numbers, add 10% for Dynojet on average.

so the turbo went in great and the car is responding well with it with the tune so on the completely stock engine it made 395 hp and 313 wtq at 26.4 psi on 93 oct
mod list
gtx3076r bolt on
grimspeed ebc
Ets intake
ets intercooler pipes
ets intercooler
turbosmart dual port bov
ets recirculated downpipe
ets high flow cat
spec d cat back

all the power is up in the top end and it feels great im probably going to get e85 and relax with it for a little while then maybe around next year look into diving into the engine!
