Edit: nevermind, thought you had a '10..Anyways, I'd stay away from any $900.00 twin turbo...Either it's just plain bad or you're gonna need to buy/make tons of other parts just to fit it correctly. I'm only assuming, but it seems reasonable. Otherwise every Mustang would be twin turbo. 900 bucks? I'll twin turbo every car lol. Example of a real twin turbo kit with a more realistic price- http://www.blowbyracing.com/hetusy.html and thats still a bit cheap.

Yeah man, go for twin turbo over supercharged. You'll be a lot quicker (in my experience, twin turbo has always taken SC even if the TT has fewer HP or is lighter). You know, again it comes down to the car, but it's a worthwhile investment to go with the double T. As Mook said, don't cut yourself short and get a crappy $900 turbo kit unless you know it has great reviews. Seems a little fishy to me. Go for a well known kit that will do you proud.

No thats for a GT. To be honest I think a supercharger is much less of a headache unless you have a ton of cash to spend. Otherwise you're likely to not be plaeased with what you get. As many on this forum have said many times regarding performance parts "You get what you pay for"

Here's a v6 TT...Dont see prices but I know STS sells decent stuff. You probably have to go through the closest dealer to you I'd imagine. I'd expect it to be more than a S/C by about a grand at least. Plus you may need some custom headers as well.

If you get a price update the thread, I'm curious also. Especially with the new v6 coming out, they may be looking to just get rid of them. (one can dream lol )

Not always.... depends on size of your TT vs size of the SC., where the power band is and how it's tuned.

Even a single turbo kit is still right around the price range of a twin turbo kit, but it's a personal preference. For instance, I have an HP Performance Turbo kit on my car that cost me well over $5,000 + $1,200 for the Bullseye Turbo, and that's not even including the installation. Now, I'm selling the kit complete for an extremely good price compared to what it cost me. If I were you, I would look at what MOOK3456 posted and take a look at those shops and maybe they can work something out for you. I have mine for sale, so if it sparks your interest, shoot me a PM.
