With the plethora of supercharger threads out there I thought it was time to hammer out some turbo's. So...which of these kits is better and why. Is there a better kit. Any and all information about mustang turbo kits is welcome

Hellion Kit
HP Perf. Kit

I like the HP kit myself - intercooled + twins is nice. Bad thing is you have to use their k-member (or other tubular/aftermarket "K") to fit everything. With the Hellion kit this is optional.

Actually, I believe with the Hellion kit, you are still required to use a tubular suspension, but it's optional as to whether or not you want to buy it from THEM, or buy it yourself.

Anyways, I've heard several complaints from owners that the HP kits have oil drain back issues, causing loss of oil and smoke from tailpipes. I've also heard their customer service isn't so great, and it takes a long time to get their kits. As said above though, reading at turbomustangs will help you get a feel for the kits, and you'll read the same stuff over there that I did about drainback issues, etc.

Also, modularpowerhouse.com has a forum section dedicated to people with the HP kit, and you can read all about peoples problems/good feedback, etc.
