463 Hp /544 Tq on 93
548 Hp/593 Tq on E 50
Finally took the truck out to Lavigne Motorsport in Elmira, Ontario. Thanks to Eric from lavigne for letting us use the dyno and Adam from zfg for remote tuning for me. Tonight I learned I should have just made a custom 3 inch exhaust like unbroken and the factory air intake IS pretty restrictive after all. Next steps new exhaust and custom air intake.

Switched out the borla atak to a full 3 inch set up. If it looks familiar that’s because it uses the same parts unbroken used. He told me I would be happy with the results and I am. The magnaflow has a much lower exhaust note. It’s still loud at cold start but significantly quieter from 3500 to red line. My borla atak was just too loud after I added the down pipes and stage 5 turbos.
Shout out to unbroken for leading the way on this one
Intake is next then back to the dyno. I am following Kruppa closely can’t wait to see the finished product

I just realized I never asked my question in my first post but you basically read my mind. I was wondering if you thought stock intake was the only bottleneck. My plan is to keep the exhaust stock unless it limits flow after the turbo's are added. I know with other Eco boost platforms typically the stock exhaust can handle more power than the stock internals but wasn't sure about this platform.

Hard to say with out dyno numbers to back it up. When I was at the dyno Adam (zfg) had us open the air box and the truck instantly picked up power. We didn’t check the exhaust... although we debated running straight downpipes only hahahahahaha but we didn’t try it
