turbos

Xman · April 25th, 2007, 10:04 PM

i was wondering if it would be better in the long run to just get a turbo, or just get mods for it

Xman · April 25th, 2007, 10:05 PM

oh oops the "it" is a 2000 gt 5-speed

BWAL · April 25th, 2007, 10:06 PM

turbo wll give you more power than any other mods, but power costs money as you know

Xman · April 25th, 2007, 10:07 PM

yeah how much roughly for a turbo and install if me and my uncle (mechanic) couldn't do it ourselves?

BWAL · April 25th, 2007, 10:19 PM

hmm, ask cricket.. he is the go-to guy about turbochargers

The other Mods ae a support system for the turbo and they give you additional power. You can do them now or later, but you will wind up doing them. LOL

Power is addicting!

Check out turbomustangs.com they have a guide to turbo kits there
and you could see what they cost and get feedback on some of these
turbo kits. one thing you are gonna need is a tubular k member though.

there is no better power adder than turbo since it is the most eficcient.
How much power are you looking to make?The PI engine has a higher CR and may limit your boost.

Not necessarily true. There is no more efficient power adder since it uses wasted energy to make power, but turbos have heat issues since they run of the exhaust gasses and let's not forget turbo lag.

ok thanks i will check shit out. i will probably end up just adding small mods here and there. i dont even have a job right now, so anything really expensive is out of the question

Xman · April 25th, 2007, 11:05 PM

ook i dont have 9000 for a twin turbo, so im going to stick with smaller mods

Well Lag isn't an issue unless you're running some 90 mm single turbo ... and unless you want to dump alot of money into .. turbo cars aren't the way for the normal mustang owner to go .. get a supercharger .. you'll be plenty happy with it ..

Yeah, I was about to say that myself....supercharger is really the way to go with a Mustang...as opposed to turbocharging.
