Is that $3800 for just the turbo? I can get you a pair of T3/T4's that would spool like mad on a 5.0 and could easily make 1000HP for $1500 tops ... its just the rest of the supporting mods that cost money. If that's just $3800 for the turbo it's highway robbery. Hell I bet you we could throw you together a whole kit for about that price ... but you would likely need a shitload more for all the supporting mods (tranny, engine, etc ...).

What exactly are you looking for?

Incon makes a nice twin turbo kit that comes /w all the brackets, intercoolers, headers, etc that you need. all you gotta go is install it. Its more than 3800 though. If thats for the whole kit you need to see what is included and what you might need. Check out www.corral.net and do a search for turbos. Lots of people there have done them and will be able to tell you exactly what you need and how to do it right.

Turbos are great, but they are going to be expensive. I mean you can go with a mild setup but even a mild amount of boost on a 5.0 will produce silly horsepower ... and that means lots of other things get expensive fast ... like drivetrain and fuel system. Just the hairdryers and he plumbing isn't an issue ... old hat on a 5.0.

Cheap and make awesome power, and yes bolt it up on the weekend. If you don't know you're shit how long would it take to get a turbo running? Then tuning? Then all the other BS you need that goes along with them.

Blower can be done over the weekend and make sweet power.

Turbo while more efficient wont ever make the low end torque, and will drain all the money you have. They are not cheap at all, neither is the tuning.

Well, if you buy a turbo kit, it really doesnt take THAT much more effort to install a turbo kit. The idea that it will NEVER make low end is false. A well set up twin turbo kit will make as much low end as you would want. Shit, the stealth spools at like 2Krpm to full boost. Maybe lower, I don't know, its been a while since I have driven it. Either way, turbo kits are not THAT much different then a supercharger. They cost about the same too. I know there are turbo and twin turbo kits for mustangs for around $4500

what do you have two small turbos on it? a kit for a mustang would be one large one for the most part, oh it will make tq, but at a high RPM.

I have personally seen twin turbo setups on a 5.0 mustang. Pretty simple setup really. They have both setups. Twins are better for low end power, single for top end. Of course, if you set it up right, neither should be THAT different.

Most that I've seen are single, thats where my no low end torque comment is coming from, but then you've got the issue of it costing 3 times the cost of a blower. Not saying this is the same for anyone but an 03 cobra owner, but I called X2C racing about their single turbo setup. 9k :hurl:

Yeah, well.... not all of the kits are expensive. Like I said, I have seen turbo kits for 5.0s for around $4500. All depends on who you go with. I've seen supercharger kits for cars go for $5000 before... You have to figure though, the insane bastard that wants to turbo his cobra, is gonna have some insane cash... so why not make it cost a lot?

If anyone is interested i have an INCON systems twin turbo kit for the Fox mustang, the kit has all parts EXCEPT the fuel+electronics parts,and the frame notch plate.

This is the ONLY emissions legal turbo kit for the 5.0 mustang, and is rated @ 800hp, incon told me with 12lbs boost a stock motor'd 5.0 would run hi 11's @115+mph

For sale:thumbsup:

11-29-2003, 09:36 PM

this particular kit was over 4k new, i have been advertising it for 3600, but cash talks, this kit has rare upgraded exhaust housing which increase max output to 860hp, kit has less than 250mile on it, and less than 100 since upgraded turbo's
Full boost by 2800rpm is what i have been told

im still tryin to find him, i havent talked ot him in months. BUT i was talkin to someone about your nitrous and the plug burning issue. i was told if you get a "flip chip" from superchips and have them burn it for nitrous, it will dump in more fuel and advance the timing some. also, if you go up one jet size on the fuel side it will fix it for now, if you havent done so already. have you ever had the air/fuel done witht he juice?

when are you fucking supercharger fan boys gonna realize that if you're driving a turbo car properly, you shouldn't EVER experience lag. only pussies that drive around in low rpms all the time have issues with it.

and as i said in another post, you should never be seeing "low end" anything in a racing situation. unless oyu like being where your power isn't...

when designed right you can get a turbo setup to spool at idle. what devin is trying to point out is that we make the vehicle have more power, so we can race it. and when racing, the engine wont go below 3k for more then .1-.2 seconds. most turbos spool that are designed for the car spool at 2-3k, so lag would only be there for less then a second on most cars that are done right.

if you're in the 12s, then you should be launchin a little after spool anyways. the ONLY time i am ever that low in the revvs is when im going around the town. if someone had the money to build a turbo motor to drag race with and was worried that much about time, they wouldnt have built it to have lag at launch. please tell me you realize this and just feel like arguing? and why the hell do you talk so much on here, but say 3 words all night in person? lol

blah blah blah, grand nationals leave under low boost and pull low 12's/ 11's...... point is when you are drivign around you are in low/ no boost, someone with torque pulls up next to you and pins it, you try to get on it but you have no boost so you lose the race. OR you are sitting at the line not paying attention and chicken drops his hands, no boost, you lose cuz 1 sec is a huge difference.
