Why do people say On3 sucks...yes they have some problems Mine didnt.But i think the people who have the problems dont know what there doing... i have the kit for over a yr drive my car daily and it fits perfect..performs awesome...has no fitment issues...makes great power !!! I love driving my car with the turbo...puts a smile on face everyday...especially when someone wants to race and you just suck there headlights out...lol...for the price im very very very happy with the kit...
Check the nut on the impeller and make sure it is not coming loose at all , on 3 are known for the nut to back off and blow the turbo up , like I said I like the kit just better turbo is needed IMOI have a convertible getting the roll bar installed this week...havent taken it yet due to it being a convertible and you cant go faster the 13.49...im sure im a little faster then that..lol..when it was a stock long block with a powerdyne 1st and only run i went 13.3 got told to slow down NO ROLL BAR..lol so i said if im going to need a roll bar im really going to need one...The shop that did my turbo install and motor work did the moates QH and tune...but im switching it going with a Mega squirt plug and play...the shop says way better then the QH..i didnt do it intially money was a little tight,so i am now...As far as numbers i made just shy of 500 rwhp thru an AOD it had more but its a stock block..so they backed it down with a very safe tune...[ a little rich] thats why i want the Mega squirt and re-tune...I also run the on3 turbo 70mm .68 A/R spools wicked fast and seems like a decent turbo...if it goes i will upgrade to a ball bearing type...but stay with the same size...car make awesome power...

what a don't need or do?? Yeah my bad slick, I copy and pasted the thread title and it came out that way. But after lookin at it again, I kinda like itI know what you dont need, FONT SIZE AND BOLD KEY
People say they suck, because they suck.
I know people extremely versed in pretty much every phase of modifying mustangs. I've seen how on3 kit's fit in person (which is not good) and if somehow you overcome their fitment issues, you still have to worry about the turbo blowing itself to pieces. I know people that have been given estimates almost as high as the whole kit costs, just to fix it.
You get what you pay for most of the time.
A $2000 vortech is a much better purchase. Start the install on saturday and drive it to work on monday.
I'm not opposed to turbos, i just think it's one of those mods you either go all in on, or you don't do at all. Doing a cheap kit just so you can say you have a turbo IMO isn't worth the trouble.
It's not a terrible kit like you are saying , and your right people don't want to take the time Nik , my friends kit was great almost 2 years no issues , but the turbo was swapped for a master power before it went on and tial blow off and waste gate , only problem he ever had was the weld broke on the waste gate flange so he bought a Bigger wastegate and had the chassis guy tig it and he was back at it .The On3 "fit" argument always cracks me up, considering this is a hobby where 351 swaps, MOD MOTOR SWAPS, long tube headers, rolled fenders, removed quad shocks, piston notching, intake spacers, valve cover grinding, radiator bracket bending, and general BFH sheetmetal massaging is the norm. I understand that people expect anything that's called a "kit" to just sort of fall into place, but for the money you save buying a $1500 turbo kit, what's a few extra hours spent getting everything squared away?
Now, as far as the quality of the turbo itself, I can't say. It is what it is for $1500 I guess. I just think ****ing about install fitment is silly. My brain melts out of my ears every time I see one of those 12 page long threads on the Corral where some half-wit is crying about 1/4" misalignment between two pipes after making zero real effort to readjust anything.
