Well, i hope they are not a site sponsor but here it goes...... The kit is frankensteins bastard son! They dont tell you HALF the things you need after kit purchase, the piss poor design on the intercooler tubes are horrible. Immediately upon start up coolant was leaking past the o-rings on the tube and into the intake....Really no way of making it seal. The blower is NOT a direct bolt on REGARDLESS of what they say. The terminator throttle cable WILL NOT work with it. The customer service is subpar. If i had to do it over again i would have bought a procharger/vortech/kenne bell or any other supercharger! I have numerous friends that will support me in my opinion! The objective of this post is to give an HONEST review and discourage people from making the same mistake I did!

my complaint with this is the tube sat to high, with almost a 90degree angle. Supposed culprit causing air pockets with mine. Was easily fixed by lowering the angle with a bracket. Never had no leaking issues with mine.

other than that, my kit had a few odds and ends here and there when installing but they were very minor. I would recommend them to anyone.

What kit did you order? Mine didnt contain a throttle cable (117$ from ford) Wouldnt suprise me if they had forgot to send it...I had to call them twice after i recieved the kit because they forgot to send 3 parts! Just an all around horrible experience with the kit and company. I wouldnt recommend them to ANYONE

welcome to supercharged mustangs hahahaha thats really all I gotta say about that. All kits have problems. my kenne bell leaks coolant on cold days at different tubes. nothing really that you can do about it. Now the kit I think that is on the money is procharger my brother has one on his 07 and he has had zero issues! (other than a crappy tensioner adjustment that was stripped)

my other brother has a twin turbo 350z and the turbos are nothing but problems always leaking oil from somewhere. the kit is a great kit but needs readjusting all the time.

so dont worry about it all kits have problems if anything were perfect you would know it because it would cost a lot more than what you paid for that tork tech kit.
