purchasing mangoose kit need advise

[jhaynes578]

i am looking into the purchase of that kit but dont really know what supporting parts i need on a virtually stock GT intake and exhaust is all i have done

 

[Bluffing024]

The kit is all inclusive. You don't need anything else. You will just see more gains when you do eventually do other mods. Go for it.

 

[Mossberg]

The only thing you will need will be the driver mod.

i just ordered my kit last week and it hasent shipped yet, i think vortech is backed up a little just to warn you

I got a powerpipe and lontube headers to go with mine

You might want the Mongoose kit instead. Not sure how that Mangoose kit will work for you.

ohhh i guess i could go with that one the manggoose was a hybrid on the site it made 1000 horsepower on my VTECH COOOL!! =)
thanks for tor correction

Cool. I just dropped a b16a in my 00 GT. It just made 129hp on the dyno. Wait til I install a vtech controller!

Like others said, kit is all inclusive. Only other things i bought were a boost pipe and boost/fuel gauges to keep an eye on things.

 

[jhaynes578]

steeda sells one, modular powerhouse sells one and anderson ford motorsports has one for sale

all inclusive. buy, bolt, go.

buy mph's 4" boost pipe. they give it to you cheap if you buy when you get the mongoose kit.

An intercooler wouldn't hurt either. I bought one about a month after I bought the blower.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

you should make your own IC. MUCH cheaper and easier!

I have that kit. It comes with almost everything. The only thing it was missing was a 4in coupler for the 90mm MAF to go on the Vortech inlet pipe. But thats only if you didn't order a boost pipe. You'll also need a Vac/Boost gauge and a Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio gauge plus some sort of mounting pod for the gauges. Autometer, AEM, Dynojet, and Innovative make good Wideband Air/Fuel gauges.

I was thinking of just buying the Livewire to monitor boost and A/F, gauges are such a pita...

Well that's one way to do it.

Why the need for the gauges? Is it a peace of mind thing?

Vac/Boost gauge is good to have. It will tell you if you have a vacuum leak as well as how much boost your running. Good to have to check on performance, belt slippage, etc.

Air/Fuel gauge is critical in that it will show you if your running lean or not. Run lean and then boom. Some air/fuel gauges can be programmed to have a warning light come on if you run lean.
