I just cranked mine this past Friday and I would of video taped it, but I was by myself and needed to keep a eye on the gauges and to watch out for leaks.
Anyway here is the video I took after it had ran for a few minutes and I felt comfortable with the oil pressure and coolant temps. Don't mind the noisy valve train, the lash was set loose for start up and have since been adjusted.

Got some new lug nuts! These are longer lugs though, so I'm wondering how much weight this is going to add to the car 
But they are stronger lug nuts, so I think that I can add 20 rwhp to my dyno number right?

Thanks man
I didn't think that I would get any kind of response to it on here. On a Mustang website I would have all kinds of compliments and questions; on here nobody really gives a **** about a Mustang. Honestly that's why I like hanging around on here...the anonymity is quite nice.

theres nothing like the sound of a big turbo in a v8 car. the whistle makes you want to spool it up every time you pass someone. so they know how cool you are. i like to make it whistle as i pass modded pickups with TD's. they arent the only ones with boost.

.....And yeah I love punching it a little bit just to hear that sweet sweet spool of the turbo. Nothing beats it.

Anyone know how much stickier the nt05r are then the nt05? And if they wobble/feel loose or w/e driving around on them?
Figured this section would have the most ppl that'd know

i had the same experience swapping some (rear) iroc disc brakes to our 72 ss el camino. i had to grind the fins off the top of the caliper.
just curious; was that a direct swap or did you have to put some sort of spacer between the backing plate and caliper bracket? i had about 7/16 of an inch to make up between the two in getting the rotor in the caliper bracket. i had to bring the bracket out away from the backing plate.
on a side note, i had a friend do some tuning on the ta for me. stock tune had 24* timing and wot afr @ 12.6 - i didn't think that was too bad. we added 3-4* timing and took out a touch of fuel at wot and a TON of fuel at part-throttle. i'm curious to see how it affected the car's trap. deleted about a million codes and FINALLY removed cags.
