Turbo!!!

http://powerhouse411.com/catalog/in...th=1_5&zenid=08251b83b9eac31cc7c521ba39e37496

I have a Turbo from Powerhouse installed in my car and the diffrence is night and day. The car is sick fast, throws you back in your seat, and spools incredibly fast! At 9.5 PSI I am 30RWHP away from stock 03/04 Cobras. For more information, check out the Turbo threads on this site posted by Rygenstormlocke.

Thanks Excepcion13! Ya, the turbo is just plain sick. I have a write up on my web site (www.rygen.net/stang). Also, here is a list of power adders available for our cars:

It depends how you drive. I can still get great gas mileage on the highway if I am cruising along around 65-70. In that case it is around 28-30 MPG.

It would make sense that if you take advantage of the turbo you're going to get worse gas mileage, but if you drive it the same as before the turbo would you say the gas mileage is better, worse, or about the same?

Thanks,

Worse. You have to run the car richer with the turbo, so you use more fuel. I don't really drive the car much differently, I have always pretty much kept my foot in her. The difference is not that dramatic, maybe a few MPGs, definitely worth the experience of having the turbo kick in and slam you back in your seat and hearing the whoosh! of the BOV!!

A few MPG doesn't sound like that bad of a loss. Looking forward to hearing what you guys put up at the track
