The Novice · March 20th, 2008, 12:44 PM

Hey guys, i know Nothing about turbo's and was just looking b/c my engine is apart and i didnt really know the prices on turbo's. But this one and a few other on ebay seem cheaper than i though they would be. I was just thinking of adding a little extra HP....But is this for real, and would it even work on a mustang (1987) or is this guy just trying to sell this thing and doent ness. know what hes talking about?

I don't know much about turbos either but I do know you get what you pay for. I would not buy a kit like this. I think you would be better off to save a little longer & get a quality piece that is made for you car.

thats a relatively small turbo for a mustang,... and you still would need crazy exhaust manifolds to support a single turbo,.. as well as piping to connect all of it.
I would recommend when buying a turbo,.. buy one from a noted manufacturer. you get what you pay for in that instance. And like a lot of guys on here will tell you,.. the fabrication necessary to make these cheap ones fit will most likely not be worth your time and effort

you'd need two of those and then turbo headers, a 2 into one intercooler, fabbed down pipes, and fabbed intercooler piping and you haven't even gotten to the fuel or ignition system yet.

Then after you spent $2k to put it all together and the turbine flies apart because you bought a cheap china turbo, destroying your whole engine, you'll be kicking yourself for not buying a garret, precision, or turbonetics.

Ryan has said it best. I think we should make a sticky thread about the Do's and Dont's with 5.0L Mustangs. Heck, with all Mustangs. If it looks far to good to be true, chances are it is to good to be true.

Those kits are missing so much you will spend as much getting the missing parts than it will cost to buy a good turbo kit to begin with
