Default How much would a full twin turbo kit cost for a terminator?

Okay, so I have been telling myself that I would buy an 03-04 cobra for a while now, but I think I have finally decided to go for it. Now how much would it cost for a full twin turbo kit? Like a rough estimate including the turbos wastegates, fuel system etc... I'm looking to make a decent amount of power, maybe like 67 mm turbos? Thanks guys!

Better add about 10 grand to your budget if you want to do it right. When you look into everything needed + fuel system its easily 10k bucks getting new stuff.

I have 5100 in my hpp twin 60 kit used, 2400 in my fuel system, and 1500 in intake manifold and other parts for the swap with another 1500 I need to spend. So with suspensionand fuel system I would say 10-12k if you buy some of the parts used.

So if one starts from scratch and buys a kit, gets it installed by a shop and then has it tuned, that could cost upwards of around $15k?

It is a lot of money but remember you will have an 800-1000 rwhp car

Its alot of money, and if you think about it you can acheive those numbers for alot cheaper with a 3.4/4.0 whipple and nitrous. Also sticking that kind of power on a stock block is just borrowed time... if you can afford to put 800+hp into a stock motor, save up another 7k shortly after because you are going to have to rebuild the motor pretty soon. Dont get me wrong, i LOVE twin turbo cobras, but unless you have a huge wallet theres much cheaper ways to get to 1k hp.

it would be a little cheaper but not by much since you have the price of the blower, upgraded heat exchanger, upgraded intercooler res., nitrous kit and all the accessories, still will need the upgraded fuel system, suspension to get the blower to clear, and how ever many times you have to refill the nitrous bottle. I bought my car with upgraded .020 pistons so im not really worried about that to much since the rods and crank are strong enough to handle it

yes that would be awesome to do it with a whipple or kb but the problem you run into with superchargers is all the power off the line...it has way to much power off the line to stick...with turbos you build to that makin it much more driveable...but that just really comes into play if your taking it to the strip often

i think both would be sick 800hp sc or 800hp turbos would be insane
