just use the search button on tm.com , then you can find all the tech and definitions you could ask for. i'd shy away from forced fab. i am currently running their hearders and cross over. i got a deal on it new, from the buyer. but the crossover is a 2 in pipe. so i gotta cut and weld a larger one on when i step up to a 347. also they have a bad rep for customer service.

When it comes to turbo systems you definetly get what you pay for. Even though it might look like it comes w/ good parts, etc. it prob fits like sh*t, etc. Check out B&G Custom Turbo's... they sell a single kit for your car for around $3,200 bucks and the guy is great, supposedly w/ excellent customer service and very reliable kits. +1 to checking out turbomustangs.com. B&G is big sponser over there also. If you are trying to make over 450rwhp I would HIGHLY recommend looking into an aftermarket block. 700hp on a stock 5.0 block is just asking for trouble. And if you are just looking for an extra 200hp a single turbo kit with a decent turbo will get you there pretty easy. Hellion and other reputable brands kits will usually put you at about 400hp w/ not too many upgrades. But dont forget about the suspension, trans, fuel, ignition, etc. upgrades that yoe are you going to need. Plus $$ for gauges, larger injectors, ignition products, fuel pump, beefing up trans, etc. And with whatever turbo kit you buy I would make sure that you are willing to do atleast a LITTLE fab work on it. If you dont mind fab work you can go with a cheaper kit... maybe something like Vecco or Treadstone... they are good kits but may require a little fitting the hard way. Good luck w/ everything. And BTW, in NO WAY do you need twin 50mm turbo's.
