Feel it's time I put my two cents worth in. I have personally dyno'd 250 to the wheels on a totally stock MSP. The only exception is a front mount, but that doesn't really up the power all that much on a dyno. Sure, I had to crank up the boost to 18 to get that number, but I did it, and that was two years ago. My motor is still together and have had no problems as of yet. Here is a breakdown of all the money I have invested thus far and I guarantee that at it sits, she is damn near twice the car she ever was.
T4 Turbo- 250----eventually the seals blew on it, so I upgraded
Garrett T3 60 trim- 600
OBX manifold- 250----finally had enough of that pile
ProjektUFO manifold- 200
Wastegate- 85
Blitz BOV- 50
Huge FMIC- 150
First FMIC I ever put on the car-89
600cc injectors- 150
Walbro pump-45
Split Second AFC- 400
All said and done, $2269 thus far into the engine bay itself. Had I gotten decent parts to begin with you can subtract almost 400 from that total. Here is the thing, some of the mods that free up HP can be done for free.
You don't have to get everything brand new and at the cost listed. I got my brand new Walbro for 45 because I got ahold of someone who ended up getting the wrong type pump. 600cc injectors for 150, because a friend had them laying around and wanted them gone.
I bought this car wanting to make it quick, and I did so on a budget. How on earth you spent 5 grand for nothing blows my mind. Good luck getting out of this pile of s***. Sorry you didn't buy an SRT-4 in the first place.
I would also like to add that my stock turbo blew up after 15k miles of me driving it, and when it blew, I was doing 65 on a freeway just cruising. Parts fail, and to blame the MSP for your problems, **** man, let it go. It's not your fault the previous owner beat on the car more than you do, at least til you made this thread
