i am thinking of putting on a twin turbo. im not sure if i want a supercharger i think mostly becuase most people have them on mustangs and i want to try soemthing different. what things need to be done to the engine to make it prepared for this? thanks guys

First how much boost do you want to run? (or how much power are you looking for?) To do it right you should at least get a forged crank,rods,and pistons. You will also want pistons that lower the compression a few points(depending on how much boost you want). At power levels above 500 hp a new O-ringed block will be needed (assuming you have a 5.0 here).

well its a 2004 gt. obvioulsy 4.6. im looking for a good amount of power, like atleast 100.

Nothing needs to be done if you don't plan on running over 12psi. You just need the fuel pump, an fmu, turbos, piping, a bov, oil lines, wastegates, & boost controllers. I guess you could do it without gauges, but I wouldn't recommend trying. Same goes for the aftercooler.

if you only want a 100HP gain, you should just get a blower. cheaper and easier to install. you can get well over 100HP out of them.

^ I'm with this guy.

Yea when I see twin turbo I think BIG power, otherwise why bother, just get a blower.

blower bro. You'll have to practically build a new engine to boost the power worthy of a turbo. For 100hp i'l agree with the poeple her. Blower.

yea im still kinda new with all of this. i had no idea that 100 hps was a joke to a twin turbo. how much do most people get out of the turbos? and now that you got me thinking about this blower, where do you find stuff like that? thanks
