Need some input..


I'm new to the forums. I was in the introduction section asking what would be the best for my Stang as far as a turbo or super charger...so if you can list the brand and pricing. And if the installation is pretty complex or not.

I currently have a 2003 Mustang GT with 65,XXX miles on it. I have 40 series flow master exhaust system, K&N cold air intake and ford short shifter. I really can't decide on which system would be best for my car and would like some information. Here are a few pictures of my GT.

go turbo. if you dont have the money then go used centri, like a vortech or procharger. Both will push the stock block as far as it will go.

Turbo's definitely make better power and are way cooler.

My turbo kit cost about $1900, plus another $1500 or so for the tubular susp. Did the installation in a friends driveway with regular tools in about a day. It hits full boost at 3k rpm and made a little over 400hp/500tq at 8psi. The engine is basically all stock minus the turbo kit as well.

Cool deal! Thanks MustangSR330! I appreciate it. I have no idea what I would need to get to make a complete install. I can just order the Complete Turbo Kit, Granatelli K-Member Kit, MAF, Fuel Pump, & Injectors for a grand total of $3,351.43 (including shipping and taxes) and I should be good to go correct?

By the way, do you have video footage of your turbo Stang? I wanted to hear it spool.

That is correct. I ended running a QA-1 k-member though, and bought my fuel pump from ford. I think it may have been cheaper if you get the suspension components from UPR, the fuel pump was definitely cheaper from ford.

I don't have any video footage, but the turbo sounds very awesome as it builds boost and the blow-off valve makes a really loud and awesome PSHHHHHHT soud.
