1. Depends on the manifold more then anything
2. Get a larger turbo
Yes and no; a tubular manifold will allow for faster spool up but you'll need a larger turbo to hold torque till redline.
Using the same IP kit, my gt35 holds torque all the way till 9k rpms.

My dynapack reads in whp, not flywheel. The software displays "flywheel" because I have an older version of the dyno/software. It was some kind of over sight from dynapack when they made the software years ago. There are many members on this forum that I have tuned and made similar numbers on mustang and dynojets.

i actually have my boost curve too. looks like i make max power closer to 17.5psi, if that counts at all lol.
max boost occurs at 7144rpm and max power happens somewhere around 8500. no idea how that works!

i think its good that you are makin power for the entire band... the power never dies off. cant wait to see how the cars turns out with the 1000CC injectors and mabey some more boost with at tubular mani.... good luck bro...

took the car out today for a nice drive around town and had a lot of fun. took it easy for the most part but i had my moments
i can't say the car drives like stock because what would be some serious bull (its got a turbo hanging off of it!) but it does drive very very well. i will say it starts up like stock and idles very well. it even returns to idle better than it used to - i have been plagued by the OEM map sensor forever.
so far, so good. i'll chime in from time to time with updates as i know there aren't a ton of us using kpro or a gt series turbo on an inline kit. i am predicting all of the usual problems associated with turbo setups - backing out bolts, melted couplers, and so on. i dont expect them yet but i am awaiting their arrival!
one thing i have noticed - the oil lines on the relocation kit as well as the filter itself get HOT. like really hot. maybe i should run an oil cooler.
