Is this a good turbo kit for the 4.6

[CIK]

I am looking to put this kit on an otherwise stock 4.6 Mustang GT 5 speed manual.
It would be going on a 2008 model car.

I would not run more than 8 psi boost.

What is the weakest link if I do this?
Tranny?
Diff?
Clutch?

Thanks

ps. I wanted a Shelby GT500, but they are hard to get here, and very pricey, as they want 12,000 over full MSRP.

damn thats expensive.

stock tranny wont like to be abused with that power level...as far as a diff. or axles you should be fine unless your launching with drag radials or something.

Im not sure how safe it is on the engine though.

I was looking at the kit that was actually $3,995.
And running about 6 or 8 psi is all.

But have since changed my mind and ordered a Saleen instead.

You would be better off with a kb 2.6. I would prefer the turbo kit over any others. You would have a lot of room to grow with the turbo kit.

I am not familiar with that turbo.
Do you have a link to a website, or thread on here about it.
Thanks

"Guys, I threw a rod"

I made 417lbs with 10lbs of boost (now I'm at 13-14 ). Currently my AFR is 11.3-11.4 and 16^ of timing. Plenty of people run 450-500whp on these engines no problem...you just have to know how to tune them. And when I do throw a rod, I'll swap in a new motor, no biggy...
