Turbo systems worth having?

squid · 08-19-2003, 11:24 PM

Looking into building my next moter and wondered if anyone makes a single turbo kit that you can keep all accessories and be emissions legal with? If so is it worth it, compared to a supercharger?

This is by far the best turbo mustang site out there.

Cartech sells a full system that keeps all accessories and can be emissions legal. But, Turbos are expensive. The Cartech street kit is $4000. I got mine through www.proturbokits.com and so far I am edging up near $5000 for my setup. There are a lot of things extra that you should get with a blower setup and that is why mine is getting so high. But, my brother has one on his stang and all I can say is DAMN!! So, that is why I got a turbo over a SC, plus they are "rare" to see. Go to a Ford event and everyone has a Vortech. Count how many turbo setups you see.

Man our cars look alike, dont like your cc hood huh? I have heard nothing but horror stories about their stuff. Did you go to Bowling Green event last year?

Yeah CC hoods are pretty poor. I tell everbody to avoid them if they want a nice hood.

Yes, was at bowling green, that is where I got my car dynoed. Hell of a good time, I am trying to get the funds together to go back.

If you want a turbo, you will have to pay for it. If you want cheaper power, get a SC. A buddy just put a SC trim on his car and it trapped 119MPH at 7#'s.

I was right there when you had your car on the dyno, didnt get a chance to talk with you though. Went to the Columbus show...that was dissapointing to say the least....except the weather was right for some great runs.
