Twin Turbo Kit for 5.0 - $750?

Postby Jeremy on Sat Mar 29, 2008 8:16 pm

I have to be missing something here. At first I thought it was a misprint or something was missing, but all the prices on their site are obscenely low. I'm wondering if they are just scamming people by having them pay up then dissapearing soon..

Yeah something is definitely not right there, I would stay away. Like my grandma always used to try to tell me..if it's to good to be true that is because it is.

yeah I wouldn't think of using it myself. This guy on stangnet said it's real, but they use the cheapest of the cheap chinese parts, and their engineering sucks, so nothing fits together right.

No thanks!

I found it when researching a twin turbo kit, I'm thinking of doing a build next year. I plan on spending at least 3500-4k for it :mrgreen:

Even with the cheapest of cheap parts surprising it's still real...i feel sorry for anyone who tried it, but i suppose you get what you pay for. Sound's like an awesome way to go Jeremy maybe you could make your car the first mustang social project car and give us tech articles and step step update's on it.

I personally would't touch it. I see a lot of turbos. We have had to replace a few, and rebuild(sent out) a few. Just had a cummins turbo rebuilt, cost, just 1400 bucks. Cheapest replacement,1200 bucks(little Volvo). A warning though, I killed my Turbo Probe GT with 14 psi of boost ( designed for 7 psi).It was assembled properly. It took awhile, but it died. The proper rods, pistons, and head gaskets should be used. A proper tune to avoid detonation. I considered it(turbo charging). I have opted to supercharging, as per heat.
