How much boost are you guys planning to run? The shop working on my car is planning to set it to the absolute minimum (6.5 PSI?) with this kit. Since

How much boost are you guys planning to run? The shop working on my car is planning to set it to the absolute minimum (6.5 PSI?) with this kit. Since I won't be getting an EVC, I may make the best of this kit and at least switch out the stock cats for an F.I. HFC.

So I'm assuming this is going to be close to 450 whp on 91 octane?

BTW... how does the car cope with boost spike or creep as mentioned?

Yes i would suggest a high flow cat or TP, we do have 93 octane here but we will not see 450 hp on this very low reading mustang dyno, atleast not at 6 psi. If you run a EBC your boost creep should not be an issue as spiking it will a little bit but settle back at the 6psi mark.

Oops! I was speaking with incorrect assumptions. I should've meant 100-150 whp gain at 6-6.5 PSI. Hopefully I can get away without an EBC to keep things simple for this daily driver... it's not driven very hard, but the extra pep is nice when getting on the freeway, brief passes, and going through an intersection (i.e., this car lacks a bit of low end grunt to move quickly off the line).

Some drive by vids please! I want to hear the sound. BTW... I may have missed it in this thread. What's the wastegate setup for this build? Just wondering if the OP will be able to hear the turbo spooling. It's hard to hear in some of the vids.
