Download the DynoJet viewer to view the files. Mine put down 233rwhp @ 4k miles. A friend put down 247rwhp @ 11k miles. I plan on dynoing again at around 10k miles.
As far as aftermarket upgrades, I would probably just wait an see what's available in another year or so. From what I've already seen, I'm skeptical of what an exhaust and CAI can do.
Known defects: BOSE stereo in Touring model sucks (new models should have new BOSE amp); grease streak on windows due to excessive grease on window rollers (there is a TSB fix); front tires feathering at around 5k w/ a significant increase in tire noise; tranny grinding on a few cars (trannies have been replaced under warranty w/ new clevis pin).
Regarding turbos... there is a turbo flavor of this motor (VQ25DETT) offered in the JDM Stagea wagon -- take that for what it's worth.
Seeing that you own a Mustang GT, the VQ motor is analogous to the Ford Modular.
If you are seriously interested in getting one, then I would wait another year or so. Something interesting might be available then...
Other than that, the car is a blast to drive.
