Default Any thought on a Twin Turbo Setup??

Hey guys ive been looking around for Turbo kits to build a Turbo Foxbody.

I came across STS, Hp performance, Hellion, and a JDM Twin Turbo Setup

My question comes about the Twin turbo set up-if anyone has heard about it, reviews, or anything it makes me curious because of the unusually low cost
Heres the link to the page

http://www.advancedjdmparts.com/prod...532&page=1

Any imput would be appreciated

that website looks a little sketchy to me. those definatly arent the best turbos you can buy. and you will also have to upgrade your fuel system. i know there expensive, but check out www.turbo-kits.com for musatng turbo kits, they have good stuff, unless you want to go the DIY route, the only thing is you need to know what your doing.

Hellion is the most expensive place ive looked so far

Id like to save as much money as possible but id also like to get a decnt trubo system that isnt going to implode the first time i crank up the boost and romp on it.

Ill have to look into www.turbo-kits.com& www.quicktimeturbosystems.com
Now that i think of it-its better to Do it rite the first time rather than experimenting with cheapo systems
Thanks for the imput

Here's what worries me the most

"Most parts are bolt on but some items may require modifications. All items color might be vary, please check with AJP for availability . Professional installation is high recommenced. Instructions are not included."

Yea, aslo what really caught my eye now that i look at it again is that all the parts are rated at different hp

-The Intercooler handels up to 30psi/500hp (I would think if you cranked the boost up to 30lbs itd be a lil more than 500)
-The BOV is rated to 25 psior 1,200hp
-The Boost controller goes from -30 to 35psi

I think ill stick with the pros, lol
