Default Turbo 5.0

i am looking to turbo my 88 notchback. I already have forged internals cam, heads, and exhaust. I know there are already turbo 5.0s and was wondering what turbo and intake i should look at getting.

www.hellionpowersystems.com ......... end of story.

every other kit on the market I've heard AWFUL things about
cusomter service and delivery times, people talk of 6-9 month
delivery times and tons of BS in getting it.

Hellion has them in stock and includes EVERYTHING you need.

any decent intake will work fine, you actually have to worry about
over powering the block with a turbo 5.0, so dont worry about the intake
holding back your power.

there are guys in here running 450+rwhp on stock heads and intake
with Hellion turbo.

Don't worry about your exhaust mods beacuse you'll be scrapping most of that anyway. You may want to check out this site for all your turbo information: www.turbomustangs.com. A turbo car will be very forgiving on the intake. They are going to make power no matter what is on top. Choose something that fits your RPM range. Trick Flow and Edelbrock makes nice intakes as well as the Holley Systemax for boosted applications.

I'd look into something like a kit from bgturbokits.com based off the Master Power T70. These are some of the best priced kits on the market.
