if your car is a stock motor 99-04 gt, and you arleady have a 125 shot, then you need to spend your money else where before you put a turbo on

haha the turbo and parts are the cheap part of a turbo kit!

all the piping and headers will cost you 3000 alone - rear mount turbo 4k minimum - front mount 6k

hmm _ i dunno turbos are more complicated - but they are better - all depends on you budget I guess?
our local guy says that front mount turbos are a time bomb on a stock 4.6 regaurdless of boost level
