Default Performance mods.

I was looking into some different turbos and TTs, what do you guys think of this http://www.turbochargedpower.com/96-04%20Mustang.htm , and what others would you recommend?

With this kit pushing 517 RWHP and 530 RWTQ do you think the stock internals can handle these amounts? If not what are some strong, good quality internal part manufacturers. I was thinking about getting new rear upper and lower control arms, to get better traction and handling with the added power.

Last question, what are your opinions on a stroker kit? http://jdsperformance.com/index.asp?...em&inmake=ford

Thanks in advance for the help.

Edit: Sorry, the link was automatically including the comma. The link should work now, they have the turbo on a 2001 Cobra.

turbo page wouldnt load. 517/530 seems fine, but put it on a to do list to get forged internals soon.

People have ran some serious boost & hp numbers through a internally stock 4.6, but they all say that you cannot suddenly go WOT and you have to ease into the gas & they all had plans of going forged once she blew up...

Soooo, I'd say save yourself the pain and get forged internals...

i called up HP performance because i plan on bolting on a kit for a 331 stroker within the next year. the guys were nice and smart, the kits from what i hear are really easy to install compared to other aftermarket turbo kits. its just the way their kits are made, its smart to pull out the engine when installing the kit. 2 centz.

I really likt that twin tubo system??? I might get that!! But im wondering if you could get that tt and a kb blower on the same engine???//// But i cant find the stage 2 kit?? And that is all i would need to reacc about 448hp??? No internals or forged anything?? Also is it better to get a bigger mm TT?? The stock stage 1 TT is 47mm while a upgrade version is 67mm. Is it better to go with the 67mm or 47mm TT???
