Default Need help finding the right kit!

hey all. So I have been looking around for Turbo kits on a 98 Mustang GT. I have been rather frustrated with only being able to fins turbo kits up to 95, or 99+ ina decent price range (some twin turbo kits under 1K.) Now I don't mind spending a Little more, but the only ones I can find for a 98 seem to be in the $4,700+ range.

Can anyone help me find a reasonably priced twin turbo kit for a 98 GT? Always seems to be a black hole in the 96-98 range finding parts at a decent price.

Or, alternatively, what would I have to do to adapt one of the 95 kits to the 98? is the exhaust manifold mounts different or anything like that, or is it just a tubing routing issue?

+1 You need to spend money to go fast. Look up HP and talk to them if you are serious.

thats all well and good, I don't expect to spend a grand and have 900 HP or anything, but I just want some basic options instead of, "this kit has everything you need to get 850 RWHP, at only a cost of $6,700"

I guess I am leaving it too open ended. I would prefer a turbo over a supercharger (Personal preference) and am looking for something in the 450HP range trying to stay around 3,500. That help this thread any?


Also you said HP, Forgive me but I am not up on the manufacturers, thats why I am asking for help. Whats HP, you got a link, and do they got kits in the price area I am looking for? I guess just a link and I can research the rest would be great.

Thanks for the help, sorry for being so noobish, I had alot of problems with my stang while on deployment and had given up on it for a long time, trying to get back in the game.

Thanks Code3gt, I had actually seen that one before, but 2 problems:
A.A little more aggressive then I am looking for (I do not need a system capable of 700+ Hp
B. Starting price of $6,400.... OUCH!!

However I do like that kit alot. A tuned down version of that system would be really nice. Thanks for the first promising link, got anything a little less aggressive you can recommend?

Why would you need to pay 3,600 for install???I wouldn't mind having my car down for a few weeks even and doing it myself. However I have access to pretty much any tool I could need and people that are more knowledgeable then I and willing to help.
