Update on this thing. The car has been torn apart and we found some issues that were definitely holding the car back. The High flow cat from the original C2 kit had rattled loose and went almost completely sideways which in turn had almost fully blocked airflow through the exhaust which in turn has trashed the turbo. The cat has been removed and a different style magnaflow high flow cat has been installed and the turbo has been shipped back to Precision to be repaired. The car has maybe had only 1000 miles on the turbo kit but the high flow cat that went bad ruined the power. Also another Southbend Stage 4 ofe clutch has gone bad.

We just had this same clutch kit go bad about 2 months ago when the pressure plate exploded and this last time it seemed to be the same thing but to our surprise it was just the clutch plate had melted to the flywheel. I have to get a hold of them and see if they can warranty it but for this monster that now will have 650-700hp we will be switching to the DM Motorsports kit. Also the engine is now off to the machine shop.
