Meh. Ford is my favorite car maker. However, I love many, many other cars. I feel sorry for you folks that stick to just one make, the more options you have, the more there is to enjoy. Like Black said, real enthusiats are not biased. Be open, give Ford folks a good name.

STS turbo =)
If you're not familiar, you can use your exhisting exhaust manifold and the turbo actually mounts back further in you exhaust. The downfalls is that you have to use more intake piping, and there is just a slight loss in boost, but there really is no lag and it makes more room under the hood. And you can basically use your turbo as a muffler, so it sounds pretty tootin nice. I'll say it's also cheaper, due to not needing turbo manifolds.

Damn, beat me to the quote!! ha ha
I'll be damned if he even needs a kit. Like I said before... The turbos, piping, carb seal, fuel pump & regulator; also an intercoolers (or two). It will be so sweet. Just buy some low compression pistons ( 8:1 or 9:1) and you're set.
I just realized you'll need to get another little oil pump + lines to lube the turbos. That will be the only hassle methinks.
