h/c/i or turbo

joshridge · December 27th, 2009, 10:03 AM

which one should i do first? both of them will prolly happen in the future but which one should happen sooner, rather than later?

GreenFaleen · December 27th, 2009, 11:17 AM

turbo

joshridge · December 27th, 2009, 11:59 AM

turbo first? what is your reasoning if you dont mind me asking. thank you though

ESG-642T · December 27th, 2009, 12:18 PM

He knows more than you, thats his reasoning.

No but seriously, H/C/I will make you less happy than a turbo kit. Your going to get more power out of the turbo kit, and you don't have to dig into the motor. \

joshridge · December 27th, 2009, 12:21 PM

haha well i guess that is a pretty good reason. lol. alrighty. would it be wise to run twin turbos on a stock mustang?

ESG-642T · December 27th, 2009, 12:27 PM

Why waste the money?

Set a power goal (realistically) and then get there the cheapest and most reliable way possible.

joshridge · December 27th, 2009, 12:35 PM

800 hp! haha jkjk so youre saying it would be dumb to run twins not because the motor might fail but because its overkill?

9986paulk · December 27th, 2009, 01:26 PM

I don't think it would be any more likely to cause the motor to ail. You could run the same exact boost with a single as a twin, the only difference is the twin will give you power earlier because you use 2 smaller turbos. And then the cost difference.

IMO though not much faster than a well setup single turbo. and honestly the limits of the stock internals will be hit with single turbo anyway and with lots of room to grow if ever forged and boost will kick in fast enough.

and yes turbo first.

9986paulk · December 27th, 2009, 07:44 PM

Oh yea I didn't say it would be much of a difference. In my opinion not worth the extra money either for a street car especially.

joshridge · December 27th, 2009, 10:29 PM

wow guys thanks for all your replies!!! that made choosing much easier! lol. @ itschristorres and this kit youre selling, its one you bought off of tma? could you send me the info on it also. please and thank you!

GreenFaleen · December 28th, 2009, 11:19 AM

yeah turbo will be similar in price and give you a lot more power.

And go single, its cheaper, easier to maintain and tune, plus look at the supra for a good comparison on single vs twin, the twin turbo supras will move off the line, but in the end they always get run down by guys who do the big single conversion

joshridge · December 28th, 2009, 02:22 PM

ah alright, NICE! thatll do!
