Good luck on the sale, and with the bigger turbo... As you can expect we will all be looking forward to your results.
Oh and just curious, what you sell that T66 at

Time to come out and play with the big boys. No more excuses when 10 sec mustangs want to run you. As an aside, I'm glad to see that Dil reached some good numbers that are streetable.

Nice numbers!
Am I wrong or did you just swap out the compressor wheel? I'm asking because I believe turbonetics' stage 2 kit will have a completely different hot side which will up the power output to a good 700whp. If this is the case, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "2.5 kit", because its more of just your own custom build.
What wastegate are you running?
Anyway, I'm very interested in seeing what you can get with a t76, and how you're going to fit the damn thing up there.
edit : just realized alberto brought up the same point above.. still interested, though...
Here's a little inspiration in the form of a pic I took this weekend.

Get rid of that single and go twin bro. That's the easiest way in my honest opinion. I just wish you would have listened to me about cams 4 months ago when you were having your engine built. It would have saved you a lot of time and effort. Remember, more numbers means a better clutch than you currently have, return fuel system, probably head work, and likely stronger half axles. Take it from me bro, it gets pricey

Nice numbers!!! Dont you think the T76 will have big lag? It would be ok if your redline was at about 8k-9k rpm but you will only make big power for only 2 to 2 1/2k rpm. All I have to say is congrats and good luck with your goal.

Thanks guys, Actually we did further tests, the back pressure of the 2.25 down pipe is holding me back to much back pressure, so basically have to get rid of the AC and fit a 3in to a 3in exhaust all the way out.
I am running a Tial 44mm wastegate with external dump.
But as for now i am keeping my turbo. I talked to Brian at turbonetics and he said this turbo SHOULD be good for 600whp which would be perfect!!
Also it would be impossible to fit a t76 in there, would have to be a new design.

You can fit a T76 in there, but I think you'd have to build a custom tube radiator support/front end like injected did on their custom ST car.

Umm an intercooler wont limit HP unless it is badly designed. All an intercooler will do is cool the intake charge temps. a Correctly sized turbocharger doesnt even need an intercooler........

You said the turbo matrix. Keep in mind that turbo matrix as it says in the legend is assuming 10 PSI or LESS. The T66 compressor wheel flows up to 72 lbs of air /min. Thats ROUGHLY 720 Crank HP. After drivetrain loss power in the 600s is EASILY attainable with the right tuning and boost pressure. Oh and the Turbonetics has tested the Stage 1 intercooler to 650 HP of airflow.

LOL are you kidding me?
I don't care how correctly sized it is....they still heat the air up far too much to NOT use one.

I dont agree with that at all, a non intercooler turbo would further your chances of blowing straight hot air. Thats crazy, My problem is my pipe coming from my exhaust housing its 2.25 only used because, i wanted to fit my crawford headers for better air flow. Now I am relocating the ac so I can fit a 3in pipe.
