Message built this car, my primary goal was to be able to generate an "obnoxious torque curve", and I feel I exceeded my expectations by a good bit.

This dynochart illustrates what I mean: (this was at base boost of 14psi, which creeps to ~17psi by redline)

I'm making over 400RWTQ for almost 3000RPM worth of rev. That's a big, fat, obnoxious torque curve if I've ever seen one. :)

At ~18psi, she's even meaner:

I guess to answer your question in short, I have no intentions of changing anything significant in this setup. I do plan to play around with building an X-pipe insert for the exhaust just aft of the transmission to see how if affects power/torque across the RPM band, as well as to see how it alters the exhaust sound level and harmonics.
