I'm still up in the air .. I'm pretty much sold on the remote mount turbo system .. but STS doesn't make a kit for the 99-04 models so I'm having to peice my own system together and right now its going to be about 4 grand for parts install and tune ... Can you PM me on what kind of deal you can get me on a 99-04 single set up .. Thanks

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.
You'd be one of the few to offer a 99-04 GT turbo kit... Your only real competition is Hellion.
Turbo-Kits.com is a a retailer and wholesaler distributor not a manufacturer, but it would be cool if they could get some of the Hellion and Turbo Horsepower Kits ;) I have a few friends looking a some of those kits.

We have single kits for the 99-04 starting at $5500 and going all the way up to $7500 for Twin Turbo kit for the Cobra. Please e-mail jesse@turbo-kits.com for more info. I want to try to keep this post about the 05-06
Thanks

Hey Matt, we can definitely get the Hellion kits... I have already talked to them about selling their stuff. I have not heard of the other brand. Can you e-mail me the link.
Thanks for all of your interest, any further questions on the 05-06 kits?

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.

if you doubt me
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.

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!?
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

Unfortunately we don;t make the kit... It's a Turbonetics kit... I'll make sure they get this suggestion though!

That 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!!
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!)

Thanks for the questions... Also, an update. I talked to Turbonetics. The kit is currently only for the Manual Transmission. I have updated the original post. Sorry about any confusion. Jesse

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 =)
