My understanding is that Turbo has operation life. Since our RA turbo is small pushing 283whp will shorten the life of that small turbo? Higher power/boost = shorter life? I may be wrong My first turbo car.

I dont know about that really, but all I know is I want a turbo upgrade, either to a x turbo orrrr the fp red i like the results on the ams with the fp red but they havnt updated lately to see how the SST is holding up.

Yeah VENDORS are Rushing to make Tranny Cooler Upgrades and TC Clutch Plates Upgrades for Limp Mode and Slow Down Warning.
Hopefully TC-SST is serviceable, I've heard that TC-SST is expensive and not serviceable. IDK

EVO X turbo and
some EVO X parts will be enough for me.
and reliability is a big issue for me,
since my RA is DD street car.
I am not planning to make it a track car, (gutted out with Roll cage)
Money pit that I cannot afford to fall in.

Im glad to see other RA owners that are doing it. I recently saw 09 RG RA (in Hayward, CA) on the road with 390whp? EVO X Turbo, IC & pipes tuned by WORKS motorsport (Sonoma, CA)

yea that is maxing out the turbo, our tuner said that any higher then 22lbs was getting knock. I am still running a stock cat, so maybe people who are making more power are running a test pipe. i am currently looking for evo x turbo and stuff.

Tell me that has an upgraded turbo!
Is 22 psi boost abnormal? sorry, new to the whole tuning thing and I'm not sure how boost is measured on a dyno, but when I was tuned by English Racing with the AMS boost pill, my peak boost is 25 psi.

Keep in mind this is on a Dynapack guys. Expect lower numbers on a dynojet and waaay lower numbers on a properly reading Mustang Dyno. Still good numbers though.

You'll LOVE the X turbo on the car, trust me!

A little bit of $$$$
and a whole lot of $$$$


Depends on how much power are you looking for?

Evo X Turbo: find a EVO X owners and once they upgrade which most em do buy it used.

Evo X Intercooler: find a EVO X owners and once they upgrade which most em do buy it used or conventional method ebay

Evo X Piping: find a EVO X owners and once they upgrade which most em do buy it used or custom piping.

Evo X GSR 5pd Manual swap? IDK about this one maybe GST? RRE?

or TC-SST Tranny Cooler Upgrade and Clutch plate upgrade. But all in all

you need money. Probably around 8-10K est. for 400-500whp IMO.

Does that mean when my RA got dyno'd @ GST with their Mustand Dyno is lower number? mine had peak power of 1st run 193, 2nd 196, 3rd 202, Base tune 212 to Custom Tune 232whp? is actually or will be higher on other dyno? Like WORKS with their taking the tires out of the equation dyno?

Still holding up, its being used for daily driver duties.

Sounds like GSTs Mustang dyno reads low like a Mustang dyno should. An estimation would be that your 232 whp would be around 250ish on a Dynojet and 265ish on a Dynapack.
