Well I have a 105 MM tb... thats 4".. so I would like some 4" charge pipe from the outlet of the A2W to the TB. I would like 3" crossover pipe and collectors with 1 3/4 primary tube headers

People have made 1000 whp on stockers though. Anyways, 3 inch ic pipe would be fine, with a transition to 4 inch @ the tb. The A2w is probably 3 or 3.5.
Bump it up to a 4 inch dp. 3 inch ic pipeing, get the coolant temps good, get the iat temps down, and retune and see what it makes. I bet you will be much happier.

vee8 I love your setup, any way I could view some more pics to do something like that? Im just not going to be happy untill I have 1000 rwhp and in the whole scheme of things an entire new turbo kit really isnt anything to worry about for me. Ill sell the old stuff and make a penny or two... Wish I had built a 370 .............

I dont see the issue with the 2.5" Charge pipes 
. The 3" Charge pipes are not gonna fix your problems. The 2.5" Charge pipes are fine.
I wouldnt sell your setup and turn around a build a new one just yet. It doesnt make any sense. Why do you think your next setup will be any different?

I could be persuaded to sell mine if needed, but it won't be cheap!

precision has always told me a 408 was too big for that PT88, which is actually quite a small turbo, Im thinking the biggest issues I have is running a 3" DP in a 4" outlet, and the T4 flange.
Veee 8 name a price man might take me a few months to save up but if you still running it and willing to sell, im still willing to buy

also im not even sure if I can go more than 15 psi I got the manual boost controller totally open and it didnt seem to make more boost, thinking I have too much back pressure?

You are a really intelligent guy so I hate to disagree......but I was trying to push the same 88mm t4 turbo on my 408 and I hurt a few of them from pushing it too hard. Backpressure was through the roof.
My set-up was same turbo, 6.0l manifolds, 2.5 merge hotside, 4 inch downpipe. Cold side was 3-3.5. I did not even pay attention on what the car made on low boost, just turned it up untill it made some steam. The car ended up making 920 rwhp on a mustang dyno. The car went 125 mph in the 1/8 at 3300 lbs.

We remember your car! The rubber from your rear tires finally dropped off the ceiling! lol Bob
