Default The time has come!!

Well guys after starving myself to near death and saving every last penny it will happen.By the end of this month I will be the owner of a TURBO STANG!!! I am getting the HP Performance Stage 1 Turbo kit, Stage 3 Clutch, Aluminum Flywheel, and Stage 3 Comp Cams. Hoping to make some decent numbers [:-]. I will be ordering it all on the 28th!![sm=bounceybounce.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif]

The kit comes with a 60mm Garrett turbo (max 600 rwhp), Bosch BOV valve (optional billet BOV available), Tial 38mm wastegate, Ford Focus SVT fuel pump upgrade, factory mass air meter calibrated to the eight 39# fuel injectors, Diablo Predator tuning package and all hoses, fittings, clamps, brackets and fasteners required to install the kit. I am also adding in Boosta Pump and Electronic Boost controller. Hoping to get about 490-500hp to the rear wheels (call me stupid but im a risk taker).

Congrats. Mine goes in to the shop tomorrow, I am going with the hellion. Thats great your a risk taker, but be prepaired to spend big money on building the engine, because it will blow, hopefully later than sooner

would you ever think of trying to put that thing in yourself???
my first install was an intake and tb spacer....
so im wondering about how much harder would it be to put a turbo or s/c in it,
anyone every tried to install themselves or is taking it to the shop pretty much the only way to go?
