RE: turbos???
I have the single kit. I don't know of anyone with the twin on here.
Here's a link to the twin kit.

RE: turbos???
I ordered the twin kit just over a week ago. There are a handfull of Mustangs around here that have the single kit, and concensus seems to be that they all eventuallywish they had gone with the twin, so I bit the bullet and started with the twin. I got a bit of a special deal through another club I belong too. $8500 shipped (was quoted $9014 direct from Freddy at STS). That includes all the piping, intercooler, BOV, injectors, tuner, goost gauge, boost controller, everything. When you consider the additional cost of intercooler and otheraccessories that go with the single kit, the twin is not that muchmore expensive, and has a higher potential to make big numbers down the road. I'm toldI got theend of 2007 pricing, but you could probably find a dealer willing to give you a similar deal.The charge showed up on my plastic two days ago. I assume that means it's been shipped or will be shipped soon and will hopefully show up within the next week. I'd like to have it installed by the end of January. I intend to install it myself over a weekend and take it to a dyno tuner to get the most out of it. I'm still debating on whether or not to add long tubes and x-pipe. The tuner that I've been in contact with is recomending it, but I will start with the turbos and see where it goes from there.

Something you will want to look around for is some exhaust tips. The tips they provide are cheesy at best but function just fine. My installer purchased two Magnaflow chrome tips ($72 for both) and put them on.
The LT's may or may not fit. They provide a secondary oil pump to push oil to the turbos. It mounts right next to the steering shafts, under the headers. I have JBA shorties and it fits okay but with the LT's you might have issues.
Shoot me a PM if you have more questions.
