Yeah the cable is fitting a little loose in there but I think I can shim it. I was wounding why did you just use a DB9 port on the pimp also? That way you can screw the cable to it. Would it cause fitment problems?

Yes, case fitment and required case machining. Drilling a hole in a case is easy, milling out the DB9 shape, not so easy ($$$). Also is bulkier on the cable end and there isn't much room there as it is.

Oh..okay, That was my suspicions.

Also I found out the cable wasn't seating all the way down because the housing of the ecu needed just a little more taken off. it was an easy fix. The cable housing was touching the ecu housing. Now it fits nice and snug and i can bump it without losing connection.

So a little up date: I had to put the Mustang on hold because of heath/work/family you know... the norm. I did get it running on the pimp and the cable works just fine. I had made a few changes to my set up. I moved my alt down to were the power steering was and did away with p/s for EPAS. With the alt out of the way I rotated my intake again to a forward facing. If anyone is wounding why I didn't just put the alt where the a/c goes is because I'm keep a/c. It sucks going into a office job hot and sweaty.Oh and the Holset came off for now. In its place i put an TD04HL-13T I got off an 2.4 Volvo V70 at U-Pic-A-Part for a few $. The H1C had a 18 cm turbine housing taking forever to build up. So I'm kicking around the idea of doing a compound turbo with the H1C and the TD04. Like the diesel guys do. The TD04 should build up really fast with the 6 or 7 cm turbine housing. I'll post the updates when I can. My DD is down now so I'm getting ready to swap a motor in it soon. Always work to do.

Compound setup won't really do anything for you on pump gas that a properly sized single turbo can't do.

Yeah it was just a though haven't put any real energy into research. Best bet would be to buy a smaller housing for the H1C like "Tims Turbos" its a 9cm.

I'm not sure that's the "best" option but it is an option. The best performing turbo (in terms of boost response) will be one that is sized so it's nearly maxed out on your setup. An H1C will support a little over 400hp so if you don't have a setup capable of making around 400hp, it's too big regardless of the housing size, if boost response is important. I don't see any head/cam mods listed so unless that stuff was just left out, you've got something closer to a 250-300hp setup at max boost on pump gas.

As far as my head spec's go I have a ported/polished intake and exhaust ports, matched intake done by a local machine shop and a ranger roller cam. I'm still running brown tops but not for long I'm upping them this Spring. I get the premise of matching a turbo to HP needs and so forth I just a little faster spool would be nice. I'm most like going to stick with my H1C for now. On an other note the mustang should be road worthy again within a week or two do to having my gas getter engine die on me along with my work truck also blowing out a trans all just in time for x-mas. Good times. Thanks for all your input Stinger.

Upgrading the cam so your power peak would be at a higher rpm would go a long ways towards making the H1C a better match.

Okay, What camshaft would you recommend? I know in the past I was looking at Engle TCS 111 but I cant find there website anymore and I know Bo port is out of the question so that leaves Esslinger I guess Or a custom grind.

Depends on whether you want a drop in cam (no machining required) which limits you to .450" lift, or don't want to limit yourself and will get the head machined for whatever cam is chosen.
Bo is back in business and nearly caught up on old head orders and is shipping cams and such that doesn't require labor.

curious why not go to a comp cam? they have several different cams for the 2.3L? I was looking at getting their 272 cam, They sell both hydraulic and mechanical flat tappet cams.

Mainly because they were designed like 20 years ago and there have been a lot of advancements in turbo cams since then. If you get them to spec out a custom cam for you, it would be much better.
