I've poked around turbomustangs, just depressing most of the time reading about how almost everyone can get this except for us in nazifornia=/

im sure a remote sytem would work....how efficient etc it will be is a diff story.

STS has made them remote on trucks/camaros/trans am's and they seem to work.

you never see big boost or big power numbers from them though and they are expensive...

If it were me I'll pass.

I apologize if someone has already touched on this but I didn't have time to read the entire thread.

He also uses antiquated tuning methods, the site states this...

"On 3 Performance MAF kit (calibrated to specific injector size) $195"

There is no such thing as a Mass Air Flow Sensor calibrated for a certain fuel injector. That is just a very old and extremely ineffective way of lying to the PCM to acquire a close to accurate A/F mixture. However this will skew the load calculations by a large amount causing all kinds of other issues.

I should say this, I know nothing about the quality of the kit in general and its possible that the turbo kit is just fine and the websites understanding of how a PCM is calibrated is just incorrect.

sound of turbos over ur engine wining is so much better. especially with blow off. not to mention. u can get a lot more boost for the price you pay. just look at any drift cars, most super cars are turboed. and with the 100's of 1000's of dollars in engineering. i seriously hope there right. haha but again its all on opinion
