Well guys it's finally done and ready to roll! I'm a little let down about the final power, but I'm sure it will be a plentiful start. I have not got a chance to pick it up yet, so I'm just going off of what I've heard. He kept it at 5psi to keep it stock clutch friendly which means a little over 300 on a mustang dyno, so 330ish?..Not bad. I spent way over what I was planning on so I'm gonna keep it there for awhile, upgrade the clutch and go for 7 psi. Should be a hell of lot more reliable anyhow. Also I put in a dw65c fuel pump.

Ya I'm not sure what the real deal was with the clutch slipping. I would really be upset if I found out it was just a sales gig. Other than that. They seem like cool people. I'm sure I'll be happy with it. It's been 6 months I just wanna drive it already haha. Thanks everyone for the help. Especially deadeye because if it weren't for his thread I would've never considered this build lol. If you know how to tune yourself this build could've easily been done with $3k. However I'm looking at like 4500

Lmao. I'm going to pick her up tomorrow. Supposed to be a dry/sunny day. Should be a good day! Now I just got to get those ugly blue wheels off lol.. Or paint them or something. Also the tires I have will probably be useless. Very low tread stock potenzas. Anyone try the nitto nt555 or nt05?

Just got the car back home. Super tired. It pulls hard as hell and is a blast. There's a very annoying/Loud rattle at 2-3krpm when you let off the gas. I talked to Nate and he said the o2 sensors are place VERY close to the frame and that may be it. But idk. Hoping it's not a broken pipe already. Other than that it drives and pulls very good

Went to go home to jack up the car and on the way it stopped. Maybe one of the numerous bolts and nuts I dropped into the engine bay?? Amazing car. I am amazed at how it pulls. Makes those 500-700 whp cars seem unrealistic. (Never been I one). I am very happy at this power. No need for a new clutch.. Yet. Put 200 miles on it today

Hey nice write up on your single turbo build! I was curious if you have anything to add about your experience with TPG Tuning after driving for a bit and did you ever upload a video??
