Upgraded turbos and downpipes

So I just got back my 2012 PTT last week and had the turbos upgraded to 20T turbines, Fabspeed cat bypass pipes and x pipe resonator delete, Agency Power carbon fiber air intake, and Vivid Racing ECU tune for all the mods. After getting the chance to really play with it this weekend I have to say it is like a whole new beast, the torque is unreal and the exhaust sound like a true race car. I kept my stock sport exhaust so I can use my button inside the car to keep it quite at times but I don't think I will be using it that much as it just sounds to damn good!! I can highly recommend any of these upgrades! I hope to get it to an all wheel dyne soon to see what kind of HP I am at, should be close to the 650-700 range.

Could you list or PM me what type of cost this was. I have been shopping for PTT's, and I would be very interested in doing what you had done.

-3.5K for 20T turbocharger at ard or 5K at fvd
- 1.2K for tune at fvd or if you choose custom turbocharger like the one at ard you must find a good tuner with dyno to limitit the torque at about 700lb ft
- full exhaust or at least downpipes (2-8K)
-bmc air filter 150$
-agency diverter valve 250$
- ypipe or plenum 800$-1.5K

Include shiping and customs
And labour for all these

Fantastic! Was the engine removed for turbo replacement? Too bad you're not local to me I would love to put it on my AWD Mustang dyno.

I will work on getting a video soon for you guys (and myself)!! Here is the breakdown of my cost:

1-Agency Power Carbon Fiber Air Intake- $800.00 (I found a guy on eBay selling it brand new, he never installed it on his car)

2-Vivid Racing ECU reprogram for the upgraded turbos-$3000.00 (see Austin)

3-BMC Air Filter- $150.00

4-Fabspeed Primary Cat Bypass Pipes- $2595.00

5-Fabspeed Resonator Bypass X-Pipe- $1795.00

6-Local shop to upgrade stock turbos to 20T compressor wheel- $4000.00 (2K ea)

7-Agency Power Diverter Valves- $295.00

8-Labor to be around 3-4k depending on your shop, mine was great and they didn't have to remove the engine to get the turbos out.

Awesome to see others taking the same route. Dan and the boys at vivid did a great job installing and tuning. And I was the first one that Robert ard did super good guy knows his stuff. Now if we can only figure out a Trans fix to get the 850 hp out of these turbos

It has been there for a long time now and I think they are cooperating with bbi to test it . Still I think its to far away for production and still I dont belive its good to push the stock engine past 700 lb/ft

Superaudiofreak - any chance of you coming to Houston in the near futuer? I'd love to hear your car in person. I'm torn between wanting the car to be louder/more aggressive and wanting it to be quiet. Can i have both?!??!
