Quicktime or B&G turbo kit
255 lph fuel pump
42 lbs injectors
blow thru MAF
dyno tune


options that are not manditory but are a good idea

subframe connectors
3.55 gears
Hvy Duty differential
clutch and trans upgrade - depending on boost levels
better TB and intake
better exhaust - anything but Flowmasters

Good kits as long as you dont mind waiting 6-9 months and tons of flat out lies
about why it has not shipped in the promised 6-9 weeks.

Thread after thread on the TurboForums about their rediculous delivery times and BS excuses

Try B&G Turbo kits and QuickTime Turbo Systems for kits just as good with real
delivery times and customer service

I bought a hp kit from turbochargedpower Jan 16 and I finally just got all of my parts. Except Im waiting on a new downpipe they forgot to weld on the o2 bungs that I asked for. Long wait times but the kit does look pretty sweet. If I were to do it again I would buy a kit from HELLION shippedon the same day you order it and also excellent quality.

Read all good reviews b4 I bought the hp kit . Then when I was waiting for it read all of the bad ones....doh. Do a little reasearch b4 u buy the kit www.turbomustangs.com is a great place to start. I would recomend a hellion kit with a good tune some good tires and subframe connectors are a must. No subframe connectors u will tear your car apart.
