get what ever you can afford budget wise, a single turbo will most likely fit your budget better and will be ample power for you.
39# injectors and its an effin CAI ... a turbo is 5000x better

or they have no idea what they are talking about, kinda like you at this current moment,
the gains that you see from a cold air intake are almost non existent... keeps your engine cold get a lower thermostat if you want a colder engineturbos don't run to hot at all, if you get a proper engineered kit then you have nothing to worry about... engines get destroyed by to much boost before they get too hot... just don't coke the turbo with oil and you will be fine

Hey seriously whitefang, read more, post less. Questions like these have been asked repeatedly. If you at least come in here with some knowledge of what you're talking about, people here won't mind helping you out. But a few things you said here were kinda absurd. If you're gonna go turbo, you might want to take steps into having forged internals in order to handle the boost you're planning to set at.
You might also want to look into some porting jobs... man what im trying to say is do as much work as you can on the engine itself to make as much HP and Tq in n/a and then if that doesn't meet your demands, look into forced induction. It be a shame if you just drop in a turbo without having an engine capable of supporting high boost. other than that, good luck there.

easy guys.. it might not be his fault he has no clue what hes talking about
love how the cai keeps the engine cooler... wish mine did that but yeah dude, research it. turbo questions have been asked many many times so just use the search function... go to the sticky and read "Boost 101"

you can just flip one of the manifolds upside down and weld t3 flange and get a shit ebay turbo and weld some piping with a shit ebay intercooler and injectors with a inline fuel booster (roughly, ofcourse thats not all the stuff you need) and run like 8-10lbs with a good tune. but all that would be gay, just trade that bitch in for a GT

^shut up lol. Speak english. i dont know what barata is? lol.
But the CAI doesn practically nothing, all you really get is a whistling from it. And with a turbo setup the engine doesnt get hot. The intercoller cools the air before it gets forced into the intake |

u definitely need to do some research into what you want...talk to some people who have turboed their stangs and even talk to people with general car knowledge since it doesnt seem like u kno too much...there is plenty on here if u go and use the search function that can explain everything too you including the boost101 at the top of the v6 section page to understand how a turbo works and all of that. if u get a turbo ur cai is going to be replaced, there is no reason to have a crazy attachment to it anyway since it only puts out like 3hp, it that. and as far as stroking the engine, what did u have in mind...i think the person to talk to about that, only if are serious about getting it done and have the money to do all this, is itschristorres8, he could set u up really nice. ur stock internals can handle around 8-10psi safely...anyway like i said, do some research
