nice butt, errr i mean car :D

So now Turbokits.com has 2 different kits for our car :D (they also carry the remote mount STS kit)

This is the first turbo kit I have seen that taps the exhaust after the cats. What does this do to the power potential for the kit? I am interested in more HP than this kit is producing but I am also looking for a kit that will enable me to keep the cats. Can this kit be modified for higher boost levels or will the cat placement limit this ability?

Earl

Hello Earl,

I would like to first thank everyone for their interest...

The stock CATs will limit the kit production to about 500HP unless you really want to crank up the boost. The stock cats where kept in there for Street Legal status. If your state isn't as strict as California and most aren't [8D] you could probably get away with running some "high flow" CATs which would up the power of the kit and open up it's potential.

The turbo that comes with the kit is a 60 lb / min unit, so it will limit the HP to around 600HP on a fully built engine.

http://www.turboneticsinc.com/images/compmaps/compmapslarge/60-1.gif

These choices were made so that the kit could pass Street Legal testing. If anyone is looking to make more power, we can easily supply a larger turbo and help consult you through the build!

However, if you are looking to go FI and don't feel like running a SC. This kit will give you great power with the same safety, reliability and ease of install that most SC kits do.

Keep the quesitons coming :)

Jesse

What would say is the advantage of this kit over a 10psi turbo kit like the 475 Saleen? And price?

Well since you asked for questions and no one else seems either to notice or care but what about the factory exhaust. The kit taps for the turbo yes after the cats so you keep those but what about the factory exhaust pipes? It looks like you would either need a custom y pipe or to run only a single exhaust (which most v8 guys are against on principle).

I appreciate that Turbonetics makes a great product but this is something I just noticed and would like answered.

Your testing me aren't you... Saleen doesn't make a turbo kit... They make a supercharger kit... LOL :D

Saleen = 475 @ 10 PSI = 17.5 HP / PSI | $6029.90
Turbonetics = 450 @ 8 PSI = 18.75 HP / PSI | $5720.00

More HP / PSI and less $$$. I don't want to get too involved in this as it will most likely start the Turbo vs SC debate and there goes the thread!

If you have any further specific questions, feel free,

Thanks

Hey Mattblasi,

Not a problem, I am more than happy to answer any questions.

The kit comes with a revearse y pipe so you can keep your dual exhaust... I should have a picture tomorrow sometime.

Thanks I would appreciate it.... I am kinda holding out on the Turbokits.com / Team SCP decisions to come out since I am on the list for that ;)

How would this set up do with my 75 shot of NOS?

Well um factory internals would be a bad idea, If you want to run a nitrous spray with the turbo I would call SHM and get a forged rotating assembly ;) You may want to change the compression as well while your at it.

Yea I mean consider you can still crank the turbo up more so you are not limited to the 450, and you can upgrade the turbo if you are looking to make more.

Time for who ever put this kit together to do alot more research on the returnless fords.. Running the Wlabro fuel pump is a really fast way to blowing your engine.
The real solution to fuel pumps on our cars are the cobra setup, dual GT pumps and ford just released a dual pump kit i the FRPP 07 catalog.

Either way you would not want the walbro pump anywhere near your car. Ask those that have had them fail and you will see why.

next it say polished exhaust piping, if for that price they don't come cermic coated then you need to look elsewhere.

So what tubing comes with the kit, is everything after the cats in this picture included and of course everything forward of the engine? I didn't think the stock cats looked bolt on last time I was under there, but I could be wrong. I'm trying to figure out where it connects to the stock exhaust and if I have to cut anything.

Oh, isn't that the fast intake in this picture?

Ok, cool, you signed up, good luck... We should be sending info out very shortly.

Unfortunately Turbonetics does not have a picture of the Y pipe and it wasn't on the stand at SEMA. It is made of the same high quality SS as the rest of the exhaust parts.

ORIGINAL: mattblasi
Thanks I would appreciate it.... I am kinda holding out on the Turbokits.com / Team SCP decisions to come out since I am on the list for that ;)



The kit comes with all of the piping after the stock CATs. Just cut the factory H pipe and the rest drops right into place... Piping to feed the turbo, downpipe and revearse Y pipe.

No, that is the stock manifold... Just looks different out of the car and from the back...

I called Turbonetics to ask them that very same questions. They are known to do their R & D so it caught me by surprise too. I found out that the kit does not run any additonal pump. As none is needed below 500HP. So no issues there. The R & D car has been running over 3 months with the kit and no problems as well. So it looks like the Dual Pump kit is still the way to go when pushing it. The listing I had for the kit was incorrect and it has been corrected.

I will send your concerns about the piping to Turbonetics... While the kit is testing for CARB approval. They can't change or it voids everything...

Thanks for your comments.

According to your website the kit is now 5720 (not exact trying to remember without going back)

Is that the lowest you can get it to us or could it be cheaper if you guys are accepted as a sponsor?

Cost

Power

Simplicity.

You guys should try and get together with manley or something and offer a Rods/Piston package with the turbo kit.

Retail = $6730.57 / Your Cost = $5720.98

Stock HP = 300 / Kit HP = 450

The kit is 99% bolt on, all you have to do it cut the exhaust after your stock cats and the rest is golden. It comes with complete fuel management and is pending 50 State Street Legal status. Not to mention the turbocharger staring you in the face when you pop the hood!!! Love it...

We can definitely supply any board member the engine internals if they are interested (PM or e-mail for a package deal). However, I feel offering it as a package makes the statement that you need those additional parts in order to run this kit. You do not, the kit is made to be 100% safe on the stock engine. Buy the kit, install it, start it and drive away.

TurboKits.com has been Turbonetics biggest turbo kit distributor for a few years in a row and all of their new kits are top notch in fitment, quality and overall satisfaction. If you do by chance have any issues they back it up with a 1 year no fault no hassle warranty and stand behind that warranty with great service. i.e. a customer with a G35 and a Turbonetics turbo was in a car accident and they replaced his Intercooler and Piping under warranty. I know it's an extreme example, but it makes the point [8D]

Let me know if you have any further questions...

Hi Jesse,

when will you guys know if you have attained the CARB status for the kit? I am moving to CA and at this point its SC or nothing, and I DO NOT want a SC. I really like you kit, but what makes it better than the Hellion, which claims the same numbers, and is $800 less?

Hey Claytone,

There isn't a current ETA for the CARB EO... I would say we should know within 8-12 months. The kit will not change at all, so if it passes, all prior kits will be exempt as well.

The major difference and what I believe is most important to any FI set up on any car is the tuning... The Hellion kit needs to be tuned, which means it will be up to the end user as to how reliable the kit will be and how much power it will make. Ask anyone in the industry and they will say that the tune makes the car.

1) The Turbonetics kit includes 100% plug n play tuning, just install, update and drive away. NO towing to the DYNO. No hours of costly professional tuning.

2) The Turbonetics kit comes with a Ball Bearing turbocharger (typically $500 - $600 more than the standard bearing) and will typically spool a few hundred RPMs faster.

3) The Turbonetics kit comes with a Spearco Intercooler (the leader in the industry).

4) The Turbonetics kit uses a Welded BOV flange and polished BOV.

5) You also received the 1 year no fault no hassle warranty on the whole kit, not just the turbo.

Don't get me wrong, the Hellion kit looks very nice; I saw it at SEMA this year. But if you want 100% complete kit, then the Turbonetics is the way to go. No to mention the Turbonetics kit can be upgraded to make more power for all of you Horsepower junkies.

Hope that helps.

Jesse

it does very much, thank you.

few more questions for you:

1. someone mentioned issues with the walbro pump, did that ever get resolved?

2. as far as the cutting of the h-pipe is concerned, where is this done exactly? and will I be losing my muscle car sound with the new reversed y-pipe?

3. when will the kit be availible? and has it been installed yet on any other s197's?

4. as far as install goes, what am I looking at? what needs to be moved? any other cutting besides the h-pipe?

thanks

I think they said its a bolt on. Second **** anything walbro makes. get the Gt500 fuel upgrade plain and simple.

I just don't understand the plug and play tune not all cars are the same and some are going to have other mods. Your car should always be tuned by a professional.

also the Spearco inter cooler is beastly. The hellion turbo's inter cooler is **** since it has a high air dam chance because the pipes are on the same side.

I agree but consider that I can install this kit myself and take it to get tuned vs. paying someone to install or paying to tow it to a tuner. I would still take it to get tuned but a safe caned tune makes life a bit easier IMHO.

plans for v6 versions? (05+)

I wouldn't be suprised if Walbro makes the GT500 fuel pump. I thought I read somewhere that they make the Ford GT pump, but only for Ford.

Matt, you can get the hellion turbo kit through brenspeed.com for $5899 which includes a tuner and tunes for 380rwhp @ 5psi all the way up to 500rwhp @ 11psi if you have the balls. They include 39.bs fuel injectors, dual ford GT fuel pumps, colder spark plugs, basically everything you need to make that much power. I'd say the hellion kit from brenspeed is the best bang for you buck if you want to make a lot of power.

Hey Guys,

I have been out all day... I will reply to your messages monday [8D]

Jesse

Great, glad it helped.

1) The walbro pump was a typo, the kit doesn't need a fuel pump as the stock one is good to 500 CHP

2) Cut the exhaust right after the stock cats with enough piping left over to slip the turbo piping on. I do not have the exact measurements yet as the instructions haven't been released. If you check the picture at the top you can see where it is cut from.

3) Jan 07, it has been on the Turbonetics test car for quite a few months now without any issues

4) The exhaust after the CAT is the only cutting, the rest of the kit is plug n play...

The Walbro pump is NOT included with the kit, so no worries there.

Turbonetics develops their tunes very conservative which allows room for other mods, however, it is always a smart idea to check the vitals of the car (boost, AFs, timing, knock, etc...) before you assume the install is good to go.

What makes you say that Spearco is beastly? They have been a leader in intercooler development and technology for years.

Just like my response above... Double check the vitals, you should not need any further tuning unless you have added major upgrades.

And the Turbonetics is $5720, shipped with similiar #s and the other benefits I mentioned a few threads earlier. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against the Hellion kit. I just feel the Turbonetics kit is a complete solution with quality parts, awesome warranty and a no hassle set up. Which can also be pushed into the 500WHP range.

Thanks for all of the interest and questions

Jesse

Not that I can afford it at anytime soon, but do have a question for when I start looking. It says it comes with a SCT tune, is that just a downloadable tune and you have to get the SCT programmer seperately, or does it also come with the SCT programmer. This will help me decide in the future what programmer to get. If it comes with it, then I could hold off buying one if I do decide to get this turbo.

thanks.

The SCT Programmer is not a "1 time use" system... but rather a 1-car use system and if needed, an authorized sct dealer/tuner can further tune off of the Turbonetics program/tune. Out of the box, the end user can only flash the stock ECU with the already installed program. If you want to tune it further, you may

1) take it to sct authorized place
2) purchase the software from sct

Not that I can afford it at anytime soon, but do have a question for when I start looking. It says it comes with a SCT tune, is that just a downloadable tune and you have to get the SCT programmer seperately, or does it also come with the SCT programmer. This will help me decide in the future what programmer to get. If it comes with it, then I could hold off buying one if I do decide to get this turbo.

Sorry, maybe my rambling on wasn't clear of what I was trying to ask about. I understand how the tuner works. I was asking if the tuner comes with the kit, or just a tune file and we have to provide our own SCT tuner.


BUT now I went to your site and looks like the description was editted so that answers my question. Last I looked it just said something like comes with SCT Tune and now it says SCT Tuner w/ Turbo Specific program.

Right, sorry I wasn't clear... You get the tuner and the software... Nothing additional to buy, truly plug n play :)

Anyone thought about what they want to see as a Release Special? I was thinking a boost gauge, turbo timer and shipping in the US for $1.00 additional? I would love people input as to what they would be interested in...

Thanks

Nothing? Nobody wants any freebies?

Have a Great Weekend!

So for us CA guys who have to give up arms and legs for a gallon of unleaded, does this tune require 91 octane or is there a more conservative tune for 87 friendly?

turbo timer, boost guage, free shipping? all sound amazing.

i personally would love to see the SOS new pillar kit, forget the name, but it has three small guages in it. that and the free shipping would pretty much seal the deal for me.

or if you are really feelin generous, how about a fully built race engine so we can up the boost right out of the box? then it would be a true plug and play!!!

oh one more thing, whats the deal with the financing company? got any more details on that? rates, terms, etc.????


and as far as the CARB status goes, if we were to get this kit when it comes out (JAN?) install it, and happen to live in CA, what do we do about ;
A. Smoggin it?
B. The Fuzz?

From the looks of the pictures, this kit may be compatable with guys running long tube headers, any thoughts on this. If I can get the velocity of the gasses exiting the motor up, the unit should spool very quickly, and ceramic coated long tubes(no cats obviously) would be the way to do that, which I have.

I also didn't see anything about the y-h pipe situation as your picture shows only one exhaust outlet. I have a feeling that I would have a good muffler shop do a little re work on the exhaust to get the long tubes to work and then back into the pipes.

What would you say is the hp potential of this turbo?

How big are the injectors that come with the kit?

Any cutting or modifications to the body for fit?

Any high temp coating comming on the piping?

Please let me know.

Lol when i said beastly Jesse i meant that they are extremely good. I love Spearco's inter cooler's and the HKS ones

some of those questions can be answered on the site. click the link in his sig.

No, sorry, 91+ is required... Unless you wanted to stay out of the boost, but that would kind of defeat the purpose [sm=grin.gif]

Up to 48 Months, Starting at 9.99%, Good Credit qualifies for 12 month no interest!

The nice thing about new cars in CALI is you now have 5 year before you have to go through SMOG. If you get pulled over and can't show a CARB EO #, you will have to take the kit off to go through inpections. Once the kit passes, you'll be grand-fathered in.

1) Long tube headers have not been tested, however if they keep the factory mounting positions, etc. it is a possibility they will fit.

2) The kit cuts off right before the stock H pipe and connects back to the exhaust through a custom revearse Y Pipe that's included with the kit

3) The turbo that comes with the kit is capable of about 600 Crank HP.

4) 60Lb

5) Nope...

6) No, sorry.

Jesse you could put together a small add on package with a boost controller, and turbo timer. I know I will need at least a turbo timer. Also what would you say is a quiet blow off valve. I know the Raptor comes with the kit and the HKS BOVs are all pretty loud. With the turbo I would prefer something quiet so not everyone know I have it. The car is an automatic so it wouldn't be really noticeable until I get into it anyway but I am just curious.

Yeah, for sure... The kit already comes with a boost gauge & turbo timer for $1 more... I can add in a boost controller at a killer discount. Just let me know which kind.

The BOV is just the right sound. It is a nice venting sound, not to loud and not squeaky.

cool, I just don't want an insanely loud whistle, gets annoying on those early morning drives when your barely awake ;)

what about 5.0 mustangs?

How much does the kit weigh?

which boost guage will we be getting? turbo timer as well? can you post pics of both of these? thanks.

Boxing 42x24x19 105... The kit on the car will be a bit less as the packaging is probably 10 - 20 Lbs.

If you are looking for an international shipping quote, let me know, we ship international all of the time...

I read it as Autometer for gauges and HKS/Greddy/Apexi for turbo timers, but I could be wrong.

We are very flexible... If you have a specific gauge you want and it's more expensive, maybe we can get just the gauge or if you want a better turbo timer, then just the timer... Basically it's about $100 worth of parts. If you want me to put $100 towards a clutch we can do that too :)

You said you have 4 kits reserved for Jan 07, what would be the lead time after the 4 kits are gone?

these turbos are only for 05+s gts??

We will definitely have 4 of them. After the first run, it is usually a few weeks before more are ready... However, the more deposits we get the more kits I can make sure are marked for our customers...

hey Jesse,

I'm a little new to this whole guage/timer thing. While I understand the purpose of both, what would make one better than another ( brand wise?) I think I like the way the apexi timer sounds, and as far as the autometer guages go, they have like 50. Is there any difference besides color and how high it reads to?

I have personally used mechanical and electronic boost gauges. The best gauge for me has always been the low end Autometer mechanical gauge for like $48. Great price and they have always been accurate. So choose the color and style you like and I can match a good priced mechanical version (except the nexxus gauge).

The turbo timers all do the same thing, so this choice can be made on color and size.

Thanks

ok another noob question, where does the boost guage mount? I assume the timer can go anywhere. would this work for the guage, http://autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail.aspx?ref=search&gid=2446

Yes, good gauge, I would stick with the 2 1/16th gauges, easier to find mounts and that answers your second question... You would need some sort of mounting cup or pillar pod for the boost gauge...

That is the absolute WORST designed turbo setup I have EVER seen.... and I've seen some ****ed up ****...

Look how close the turbine housing is to the charge piping.... can anyone say HEATSOAK!!!!

Waste of money IMHO... I could design a better kit in my sleep!

What do you guys think would be the best 2nd guage to put in the SOS pillar pod? Fuel pressure? Oil Pressure? Shift Light?

Oil Pressure is good to watch...

Actually if you take a look at the second picture down you will see the included turbine heat shield....

http://www.turbo-kits.com/images/mustang_gt_turbo_kit_2.jpg

If you still don't like that, there are turbo blankets that control the heat soo well that you can actually touch them after the engine has been run hard. I can add in the Turbo Blanket instead of the gauge and timer if that would make you feel better about the kit...

Thanks for your input.

You seem to be fairly helpful on all of this. Any word on a kit for anything 96-04? 04 GT or 03/04 Cobra would be great. ;)

I wouldn't be suprised if Walbro makes the GT500 fuel pump. I thought I read somewhere that they make the Ford GT pump, but only for Ford.

Matt, you can get the hellion turbo kit through brenspeed.com for $5899 which includes a tuner and tunes for 380rwhp @ 5psi all the way up to 500rwhp @ 11psi if you have the balls. They include 39.bs fuel injectors, dual ford GT fuel pumps, colder spark plugs, basically everything you need to make that much power. I'd say the hellion kit from brenspeed is the best bang for you buck if you want to make a lot of power.

I think they said its a bolt on. Second **** anything walbro makes. get the Gt500 fuel upgrade plain and simple.

I just don't understand the plug and play tune not all cars are the same and some are going to have other mods. Your car should always be tuned by a professional.

also the Spearco inter cooler is beastly. The hellion turbo's inter cooler is **** since it has a high air dam chance because the pipes are on the same side.



I agree but consider that I can install this kit myself and take it to get tuned vs. paying someone to install or paying to tow it to a tuner. I would still take it to get tuned but a safe caned tune makes life a bit easier IMHO.




14psi on a 3.8 makes 400-450rwhp. surely 11psi on a 3v would make more that 500rwhp.

I was at JPC this evening and spent a good amount of time talking with Justin about what can be done and what are the good ways to go with my car ( I mean really he would know huh ) and he did say that Hellion was a great system and one thing he pointed out was that Hellion uses Turbonetics components for their kits including turbos, wastegates, and blow off valves, and he said he could tune them (Turbonetics kit or Hellion kit) to 450 - 460 rwhp safely with no problem on the stock block (which he has done before). So I am looking at doing this Turbonetics kit and letting JPC do their thing because I am really not in the mood to build a full block right now ;) .

Justin did mention (since I asked) that the 07 is a bit different in the cooling system and it has an ECU upgrade from the 05/06 models, just so all you 07 Guys are aware you need to make sure it is specified as a 07 kit for your car. Exp. Roush has the Supercharger but for the 07s you have to also buy a supplemental kit which has a different belt, and some cooling system components, and it runs a different tune.

very interesting.

good info on the 07

interesting thread and I'm surprised there hasn't been more questions, but this is pretty high end, big ticket stuff, too. What do you have for 5.0L SN-95's along the line of that sweet financing deal!? ;)[8D]

And your HP/psi is interesting. I look at it more as bang for the buck, as in what are you paying for each pony?
$12.69/HP for the Saleen
$12.71/HP for the turbo

Here's a suggestion. Since all that weight is being added way out on the nose, how about including a battery relocation kit to move the battery to the trunk?

That is another good way of looking at it, but when the prices are soo close, it's good to look at which kit is the most efficient... Thanks

JesseThat was actually my point. I hope it didn't come across as calling you out. :)
for basically the same $/HP, I'd take the turbo 8 days a week and twice on Sunday!! [8D]

Now, about that SN95 financing.....

How about doing a dual turbo setup where the turbos are located at the end of the tailpipes - I saw the dual turbo setup on 2005 corvette on powerblock (spike) - they lost about 1 psi by having the turbo at the back of the car but the temperature of the exhaust was roughly 100 degrees cooler so they achieved 50 more hp. It was pretty cool and you could see the guys snap back in the seat when they put that 535 hp to work (and I think they were only doing 8psi - I am pushing 18psi in my STI and there is nothing like spoolage!)

Ahhh, gotcha... Thanks :)

Oh it gets a bit worse then just not being available yet, their R&D guys just told me they have no plans on getting the Automatic in there to do their testing on it and release a kit for the Auto until late summer ("mid / late Aug. ") . I have a call in to a few friends to see exactly what the differences are between making a kit for the auto and one for the manual, so when I hear back from Justin I will let everyone else know =)

Jesse, I got your email, and sent 2 =) first was before I saw this post...

Well as I understand it there may be some clearance issues with the exhaust piping so it may have to be redone, and the tune would be a bit different but that is all anyone can seem to come up with. For the most part from the pictures those I have spoken too all think it should work. Most kits will fit either and this may as well, but no one knows yet because it has not been tried =)

Great, thanks for the update... Happy New Year Everyone!

Yep, you beat me to it... LOL Thanks...

Doug, Matt is correct... The tune will be replaced by the SCT tune that comes with the kit andyou will lose the xPipe & CAI. The kit has not been tested on anything but the stock set up so the header clearance is something that hasn't been done. However, if you check the pics at the beginning of this thread you can get an idea of how it would fit.

Yea you were out for the holiday =P Happy New Year

hey jesse...very interesting.

just bought an '07 GT/CS conv. after ordering the system, who wouldone get to install it??? live in omaha, nebraska.

local://upfiles/57783/3DC2BED54D6944008C4184C6B79BD8B6.jpg

Hey the_unihusker,

We are actually in CT and are not aware of anyone in your area... Is there anyone on the board that knows a good tuner in Omaha?

Also, the kit has not been tested on the 2007. So I would suggest you work with a shop that is capable of tuning the GT ECU and has prior expierence with Turbocharging the GT.

hey jesse,

what if i brought my car out there..could you guys do it on an '07?(good excuse to the wife for cross-counrty road trip). if so, what would be the total cost package + installantion? sounds like would void my waranty as well? how long would it take?

hey turbo-kits.com i have a few questions for you...

if you look at where the turbo is placed, the piping going back to the engine passes over the turbo, wont this heat up the forced air going into the engine that the intercooler is cooling down? there by decreasing hp?

also how much psi can the turbo put out efficiently?

Hey Bobsmilie2000,

Post #6 on page 1 and Post#100 on page 5 will answer all of your questions. If you have any other questions feel free :)

Well its the weekend so Jesse is probaly relaxing ;D but I can help answer your questions as best possible.

Yes you can attempt to finance the turbo kit, be it through turbo-kits.com or through a personal loan from your bank or even apply for a credit card. The interest rate will vary depending on your credit. This is where it may get nasty for you because of little to no credit history, but you can also ask a parent or grandparent to co-sign for you which would make things alot easier and help to get a lower interest rate.

As far as someone to install the kit, your best bet there would be to hang out at the track for a few test and tune and race days and talk to Mustang owners who have well built cars. Ask them who built their cars and who they trust. A shops customer base is a shops best advertising. This is how I determined which shops I would initially trust and it has all worked out well.

Well give the application a chance just running it dose not require you to take it. At least it would give you an idea of what the interest rate would be. I think the best way would be a credit card.

Your testing me aren't you... Saleen doesn't make a turbo kit... They make a supercharger kit... LOL :D

Saleen = 475 @ 10 PSI = 17.5 HP / PSI | $6029.90
Turbonetics = 450 @ 8 PSI = 18.75 HP / PSI | $5720.00

More HP / PSI and less $$$. I don't want to get too involved in this as it will most likely start the Turbo vs SC debate and there goes the thread!


Actually the 475hp Upgrade from Saleen is designed for an average of 6psi......

Hmmm, I got the info right from the Saleen... Do you have a link that shows 6PSI and 475 HP?

Was watching Horse Power TV a few weeks ago. They featured a new Bully Dog "Twin Turbo" for the new Mustangs. This setup was call an after cat system, no intercooler. The turbo's mounted after the cats, looked like somewhere after the cross and the only return was the chargered air to the intake. The exhaust spun the turbo's and continued on it's way out the back.

Bully Dog did not have a price at the time of the show, they made 100 HP over the stock base line at the wheels on 4 lbs of boost.


Has anyone else seen one of these systems? Looked real easy to install.

Bully Dog is about a year out till it is released, but they kinda took the idea from STS which Jesse can also get. STS makes what is called a remote mount sysem, it replaces the muflers with the turbos and mounts the turbos at the rear of the car. I know several Corvette and F Body guys with them and they love'em. They make great power and are fairly easy to install. Check out Turbo-kits.com and Squires Turbo Systems has images, and video of the kits.

Yea, I know about the STS kit, a few people here have them. Horse Power TV also did a piece on them. The difference is that the Bully Dog system mount in the middle of the car, not in the back. It is also a twin turbo, not a single and it is made speciffically for the Mustang. Comes with the programers, boost guage, etc.

Iamnot that great at finding video from TV, it would be cool to watch again.

I have the episode you mean downloaded from Itunes, and the STS has both a single and a twin available. Mounting in the middle vs the back is not going to make a performance difference however with the turbos in the center of the car there is a good possibility you are going to have issues with the filters and the ground clearance. STS kit is also made specifically for the Mustang both their twin and single kits were designed for it and you can get the tuner and fuel with it, depends on what you want. The thing I like is that they do not force you to get a specific tuner vs other kits that will add the cost of either the SCT or the Diablo Sport.

Personally I think the STS is a better design then the Bully Dog kit.

Anyone installed one of these yet...any feedback from the initial folks putting these on? Are they ready for the 07?

I spoke (well emails) with Jesse today my kit should ship soon and once I have it I will be installing it, I will post install pictures and numbers here. I will also try to have a video or two of it. I can't wait ;) Jesse can tell you I don't give him any time to rest :D

Thanks...looking forward to it. It seems like one of the biggest things against most of the turbo companies is the delievery timeframe. Many of the big brand sc's have the parts in stock with a 3-4 day delivery. I was thinking HP but then I heard about their issues in months of back log...

What was the decesion maker to choose this turbo specifically and why nota sc...just curious.

Honestly I just like turbos better, there really isnt a performance difference anymore. A good example of running similar numbers I have one frined with a 99 GT with a T88 turbo and another with a 04 running a Procharger F1R and they both run door to door in 1/4, 60', and MPH.

As far as delivery time Jesse has a few more kits ready to ship as soon as they are purchased. The kit was only shipped my Turbonetics a week ago, and it is their first run of this kit. They pushed back the release to do a bit of additional quality checking and testing, basically making sure it was all good before running it out. I guess some people just want to see how it dose, but I feel sorry for them cause they may miss out on the introductry offer Jesse has going on. Turbonetics has some great kits and a great reputation, I know several people with Turbonetics kits on 350Zs and a G35 and have never been disapointed..

I have not really heard of anyone having issues getting any of the turbo kits, I know Jesse has pretty good access to everything he offers, and the only reason mine has not shipped is I had to work a few things to make sure I had all the funds. It sucks that it cost money to go fast.

Thanks! I sent Jesse and email, I'll see what he has going on. Still leaning a bit to Saleen or Roush for the warranty because I have a new car.

If you have a turbo kit like this one installed, about how long will your engine last? Will it go out faster if the rest of your parts are stock? What if the engine already has 50k miles will putting on a turbo end its life earlier than if the engine had 5k or 10k miles? Thanks!

Replied to your e-mail :)

A properly installed and running turbo system should only reduce the life of your engine by 10-20%. I would suggest that anyone considering FI read the book Maximum Boost by Corky Bell.

Turbo question, I have heard that you should run about 8:1 compression or somewhere close, 9:1 etc. I read an article in Super Chubby and they built a BBC running 11.5:1 compression on a twin turbo setup. I was alot surprised and wanted to know the pro's and con's. I am currently runnint 11.5:1 on my Stang and add nitrous to the mix from time to time.

Then there is the problem with the carb, having to convert to blow through, setting the timing curve, and air/fuel.

There are tons of variables like fuel octane, fuel type, etc... Your best bet is to look at it this way. Lower CR means less power off boost, but able to hold more boost. The higher the CR the more off boost power you will make and the more power you will make on boost, but you MAY be limited to the amount of boost you can run. Especially if you look at it based on total cylinder pressure and not boost -vs- CR.

It's the quick version, but it should help...

Thanks
