they make awesome kits for imports,got the GT originally because of this kit though decided with a supercharger instead.Can't remember but I think it was something like a 60-1 (??) which is a good sized turbo,something no doubt the 4.6 could spool the hell out of lol.

they make nice stuff. Import products are where they spend most of their time and it seemed like they jumped on the Mustang bandwagon as an afterthought only because of the business they were missing. They are dabbling in the domestic market now a little bit. I think a supercharger would be a better way to go due to the companies out there who have proven success with them

Turbonetics is not a true ball bearing turbo like a garrett but the price is right. Prob the cheapest kit you can get for our cars

Can you explain what you mean by a true ball bearing turbo is (and how its different from a non ball bearing turbo in both form and function) and how the Turbonetics turbo is not one? I am not trying to be a jerk, but I am curious because they list the turbo as a "T4 60-1 Ball Bearing Turbo". Thanks!

Also, I have been looking at turbos and Turbonetics in particular since the price of twin screw superchargers has increased recently. I was wondering if installing a standard turbo (60 - 61 mm turbo) is okay to do with a daily driver with possible heat issues and the like. I do not plan on getting anything larger than that size turbo, because I do not want to boost too high due to the fact that I have stock internals.
