the only 2 i can think of off the top of my head is hellion and quick time turbo systems. i dont know much about them but ive heard both are good and that hellion is a bit pricey.

what year is your car by the way i was just assuming it was a fox cause your in the 5.0 section but there are alot of us sn95ers kicking around here.

theres also a boost section on this site if you didnt know(you probably do but your fairly new so i thought id throw that out there just in case) were theres lots of people with first hand experience

Pony down kits are made by BG turbos they are good kits and so are the BG kits. I dont know about the Hellion stuff I have not heard anything to bad. Starting to read stuff about Quick time and delivery problems on there stuff. HP I seen is also having problems. I would say go with the BG kit or Pony down I know the BG kits have a life time warranty on not cracking. I have a Cartech Outlaw kit and so far so good with mine. but I have seen good and bad about them also.

thanks for the clarification

I have a ponydown kit and haven't had any real problems with it at all other than that you have to cut a few things to make it fit.

Milton, I have a 87 mustang with a 93 cobra swap. I also know about the boost sub forum, but right now I'm out to sea and the internet is shakey so I take what I can get. I appreciate all the help guys. Looks like I'm going to go with either the Vortech Cobra supercharger or a Pony down kit. In about a month I should have the kit and be ready to install.

not to interfer, but did anyone see that sep.2007 issue of hot rod were the guy built a homemade twin turbo set up on a fox with T3/T4 turbos. if you dont know what those are there actually turbos off JD bulldozers and Backhoes. it was a pretty cool set up, ugly but it woked, he was pushin like 460 hp and 505 lb-ft.

I'm am also going to be going turbo soon...
I've been looking at this treadstone kit and it seems to be a nicely made kit from what i can tell and its pretty reasonably priced!!

Here's a link if you wanna check it out!

t3/t4 aren't just heavy equipment turbos. There are quite a few other than those. Most diesel turbos aren't too efficient on gasoline engines. Their compressors tend to be more efficient in higher pressure ratios. Generally they will have a pretty large a/r with a smaller trim on exhaust side aswell. Either way they will work; just some times not the most efficient thing to choose. The garrett .60/.48 t3's from svo's, capri rs's, & some tbird turbocoupes will work well on a stock & mildly modified 5.0 the .60/.63's will work aswell, but are more toward higher rpm, they work well with heavily modified 5.0's & mildly modified 351's. Grand national turbos work well too if you can find two for a twin setup.



As far as the s/c vs turbo. I would say a positive displacement supercharger over turbo for a daily driven car. There are no roots kits available for the 5.0 & I believe only one company that offers the twin screw kit. They make a far more fun car to drive imo & more reliable. The turbo will make the faster car, but the positive displacement s/c will feel faster at similar boost levels.
Reliability isn't that bad of an issue to me due to most journal bearing turbos being fairly easy & pretty cheap to rebuild, but some people prefer not to do the work. They'll last fairly long if you take care of them though; letting the engine get to operating temp before getting on it, letting it cool down before shutting the car off, & oil change intervals on time aswell as air filter changes on time. But you have to look at the company aswell, poorly designed headers will crack due to the heat & weight of the turbo.

I personally prefer turbos, only because i prefer to have the faster car in a race. If I were building a quick daily driver with a/c, power windows/locks, radio with gas mileage in mind, then I'd go with a roots. If i were building a light, fast car i'd go with the turbo.

my bad, my bad, but i was just sayin the setup was pretty neat.
