Hi, I currently have a pretty basic setup on my '19. Rouch CAI, muffler, downpipes, adapters, whipple intercooler, tunes with 5 star. I've dynoed 440/522 RWP. I am adding the new CR manifolds and a throttle body.

I am also VERY interested in adding the stage 3 46mm turbo upgrades.

I'm sorta guessing I'm land a tad above 500/600 with new turbos (460/550 without).

My concerns are mainly reliability. I don't want this car to get destroyed at 100k miles as this is our daily-driver/expedition vehicle for trips and should I look at things like a new fuel pump, BOV, etc?

Cheers!

Why do you feel the need to have that much power on a vehicle that is supposed to be dead nuts relaible in the back country? Id stick with as basic as possible honestly.

Its an old saying, but used to use it a lot when I had my business...

Fast, Cheap, Reliable... pick any two.

Truth is though, "reliable" was the ever elusive unicorn after a certain point on pretty much all platforms. Its knowing when to STOP!

What Ryan said makes the most sense if you love the ones you take with you.

I really don't understand these two comments.

What is it specifically that will cause the Raptor to fail with the turbos?

It could be very reliable but IMO without tearing into the motor and beefing up a few key areas you are just adding more stress to a stock motors internals. Again I'd just leave it stock as possible.

Would you mind telling me what kinds of turbos? The CRP set along with manifolds doesn't seem too crazy/high pressure, which is the reason it most interests me.
