Agency power MBC? Dont buy it I did and its sitting in my tool box does not work! I bought a hallman, works great easy to install! I would not worry about boost control and just get a flash with boost taper removed, just my 2 cents!

Cams worth it?

For a IX there are some gains but the stock cams are pretty good with the stock turbo. The only cams I have direct experience with are the the GSC S1's. There are specific review threads for these and others. I would say that you should clearly define your long term goals before selecting cams.

My goals would like to keep stock turbo for the time being, but yet have the most hp / tq at a safe setup for a daily driver.

Another turbo will come eventually, but that's when I decided on which setup I want. For now, max hp/tq for DD is what I want. Without going into internal's and not running meth. I'm a bit hesitant on the meth setup, but that's just me. I'd like to have some longevity on my engine.

TTP how packed in your schedule for street tune, and or installing parts?
I might end up setting up an appointment asap but trying to figure out when I'm able to hike up there.

If with everything done, and I have the correct parts for a "stage 1 setup" what's the power outcome expected on a IX? And what's the max psi you can bump in order to still have a reliable DD with max hp output?
I have a downpipe and testpipe in stock for a IX. Reflash tuning takes top priority here so we can make room in the schedule for you. Just let us know when.
