PRO TURBO
Pro Turbo Systems has single and Twin-Turbo systems available for "87"-"04" 5.0 and 4.6 applications. Priced at around $3,900-$5,900. I was just wondering what you all thought about this system and other turbo systems for are cars vs. superchargers.
NOTE: I was going to post this in the V-6/Turbo section, but because this turbo is for 5.0&4.6 I put it here.

RE: PRO TURBO
Thats the same way I am. I know I will be adding one or the other at some point, so I thought to myself who better to ask than a bunch of mustang nuts. Look back on this post and see what they say, maybe we will both learn something.

RE: PRO TURBO
May not be the best most professional site, mainly because its not driven specifically toward cars at all, but check out howstuffworks.com and go to there auto section. I started reading stuff to learn about cars and different things have to do with cars such as S/C's and Turbos and they give you a good base idea, such as the difference between the two and the advantages and disadvantages of them both.

RE: PRO TURBO
Sounds like you at least have a cool computer ... lol .... I just saw that you are in Afganastan, which means that you are either a terrorist who is set out to destroy america by giving bad mustang advice so we will all crash (lol) or you are a soldier. if you are a terrorist you suck, but if you are a soldier stay safe and thanks for your service brother!

RE: PRO TURBO
Basically... Turbo > S/C. But it costs quite a bit more. Also I dont know of any turbo kits that are 50 state emissions legal (matters to me because I live in CA). I personally am going to go with a centrifugal S/C when I do mine, just because I cant justify spending 7000+ for a turbo kit for my car when I bought the entire car for 7900. lol
Post up a link though so we can check out the turbo kit you have found. I know the kits by HP Performance are like $7000 or so though.
