From other dummies that have bought it.

If you're really interested in turbo stang, its gonna be expensive.

Hellion
B&G tubro has all the parts for a DYI install

HP and PTS make good kits, but have serious customer service issues.

I'm not that knowledged in Turbo kits. I read his feedback seems to be positive.

My question is how would you tell or know if the kit fits or doesn't fit??
was just going to ask lol
I am very close with the owner of ASM Performance in Cranston, RI. He is setup with that company to build a "full version" of the kit, since they dont offer any way to plumb it all into your exhaust. ANYWAY... I was at the shop, lending a hand the very same day he was attempting to install this very kit on a 1995 GT coupe. BOTH, not just one, but BOTH of the manifolds rest ont he alternator and PS. and the turbo then sits on top if the manifold... which causes them to stick about 4"-5" past the hood. so you would not only have to modify the mounting of your PS and ALT, but your gonna have to cut your hood so the turbos can stick through it.

just get a kit from Jeff at www.ponydown.net. $3k and your done... (minus supporting mods)

Read the first couple pages of the guys feed back. All his negitive stuff is about the turbo kits. He doesn't return emails it looks like either after you've bought the stuff. Hes had 183 negative feedback in the past year too, thats pretty bad.

^+1 i have heard nothign but bad things about powerdyne, and these cheap turbo kits. Save up the money and buy a vortech, or procharger. Or for a little more than the powerdyne you can get a novi 1000, and i believe they are pretty good.

For wat it is worth, I've been reading some interesting stuff about
Squires remote mount turbo Systems. Would seem like a good idea
when underhood space is at a premium.
