I was actually looking into this kit for a while as well. You would need to have a custom down pipe as well as a manifold. Then have the piping ran for it, which really wont be that bad and have it tuned. I wasunder the impression that a T4 was a nice size turbo. In reality there is a lot more too it than it seems. Fitting all of that around in your car is going to be tricky. All in all I kinda figured it up for the tune and piping ran, wasnt really to high. Its a chance to take but if it worked it would be SWEET. I wasntwilling to take it though lol. Good luck buddy

ive been looking at turbo kits for almost 2 months now... cheapestest ive seen for the new edge stangs is $5000+ If you can weld id suggest buying all the hot parts and custom making yourself one. Ive found that if you own a fox body stang you can buy a turbo kit for damn near $2500
this is the turbo im going to have 1 of these days....

from what my tuner tells me , and I have seen them with my own two eyes, basically no boost level is safe on a stock motor... but If I did one I would say about 4-6lbs... no more than 360-380 rwhp, the turbos seem to be harder on the motor... I am yet to see one on a stock motor last longer than 1 year

Simply put, its a bad idea to put a turbo kit of any type on a stock engine assembly... simply because it's a ton of money for no greater result than a blower setup.
Every single stock motor/turbo setup I have seen on a 2v car has had what I call "supra syndrome". You simply cannot spin the stock assembly enough RPM to really take advantage of the kit. Check out the "boostang" for example.
On the stock engine he was getting beat or running door to door with cars a centri/kb car would simply destroy. Every shift the car would seem to bog down with turbo lag, and by the time it picked up again it was time to shift.
In any case, unless you have a hell of a deal with a customfab shop, you are in for a major headache trying to do a DIY kit. Someone on the forums recently did this and all they got done was buying the parts... its alot more work than one would expect.
In any case, nobody can argue that dollar for dollar your best bet is to stick with a blower setup. For the price of a turbo kit + install you could have a new forged assembly and a centri style supercharger under the hood, and make LOTs more power.

RE: good turbo kit?
hellion and HP make godly turbo kits IMO... everything comes with the kit, headers, midpipe, intercooler, piping, fuel upgrades... everything you need.... they are 6 grand though.
as far as SC'ing that's gonna be pricey too.... people usually go with vortech or kenne bell... a few go with whipple as well. the paxton has a good name too
