ey jesse i have some questions: im turning 18 in october, so can i finace the turbo kit??? how much interest and monthly payments? d u now some one who can instal the kit in el paso tx??
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.
thanks man that really help me, so i think im going to hold on the turbo, because i dont want to pay to much interests, i could give all payments in time and all that but the problem i dont whant to pay to much interest, ill investigate more about this because i really want a turbo kit
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.
thanks again man, when i turn 18 ill go for the credit card, until then ill save all the money i can

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.

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.
Iam not that great at finding video from TV, it would be cool to watch again.

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 not a sc...just curious.

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!

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
Jesse
