Is there a reason why that is so cheap?? It seems like anything with the word turbo attached to it has a 3k+ price tag attached to it also. That is in the same price range as the paxton/vortech. So I could go either way.

Yea, when I went up to get my car dyno'd they had a mustang up there they were putting one of those kits on. I was hoping thatthey were going to put thatup on the dyno, but they were winding out an RX-7 at the time. But that's the thing I want boost, but I don't want the price tag and don't have the skills/time to build my own as this is a DD car.

The only difference from what it looks like is that there's no injectors pump meter, and down pipe connector to the catback for the cheaper one right?

The MAF should beBEFORE the S/C. The computer wants to know how much air is going into the motor. The MAF reads cfm atATMOSPHERIC pressure, so if you mount it after the S/C it will be reading cfm of COMPRESSED air. A cubic foot of atmospheric air has less O2 molecules in it than a cubic foot of compressed air. In a sense, the MAF is counting O2 molecules. Put it in front of the S/C and it will let the computer know exactly how much air is going into the motor... put it after the S/C and it will be reading compressed air and think it's atmospheric air and the motor will be getting more air than the MAF is reading. Not good.

So the car would be running lean. A tune would fix that though, which I plan on getting anyhow.
