Alright gents, I love this... Sleepers rock. I have started speaking with Keith at ADC (He told me that people call him 5 times before they put out the cash, I of course will be no exception)I'm in a 99 mystique 2.5mtx with 60k on her I need some feedback on how this will hurt my car due to its non-SVT internals.
BTW I'm going to install it myself.
More importantly congrats to the new king!!!

I'm not sure exactly. But it'd be damn nice to see the neglected Mystique putting down a ground pounding 450 hp!

I would at least put a minimum of forged pistons just for the ease of mind.

yeah but if ya do the pistons, might as well do the rods, and then the bearings are a necessity anyways. . .it adds up in the end

Definitely.
You don't get 400 horsepower by just a simple turbocharger.

That all depends.
Certainly just bolting on a turbo can give 400 HP. That's an easy given.
However if the stock pistons & rods can handle it is another question altogether now. "To date" we know 330ish is safe with a good tune.
Eventually we'll know their "true" safe limits.
Still 330 wheels from a small V6 is impressive for OEM parts designed for general NA applications.

hmmm.....it sounds like we need someone with really deep pockets and a burning desire for destruction to find out what the final limits are. lol

Ok ok Master Demon.
You don't get 400 horsepower for very long by way of just a turbocharger. 
I'll agree though. 330 at the wheels is damn impressive for a V6.

why not? Harolds turbo Maxima puts down high 400 wheel hp on his stock motor with pump gas.
