If you do decide to go KB, let me know, I have a 1.7L polished one sitting in my basement, shipped for $1800

There is nothing better than having some neighborhood kids hear your blow off valve and scream "WOW YOU HAVE NAWWZZZ?" because they play Need for Speed- Underground.


Also, nothing is more fun that doing a shift under boost at ricers/fbodys and the person that was going very slowly in front of you. (mine is VERY loud and is mounted in the right front corner)


All that aside, you gotta love rolling into the throttle and getting a kick in the chest as boost kicks in.

As we all can see, now turbo's are more main stream then ever, so people are catching on here.

Almost all of the guys on jackstands with turbo stangs, either got greedy, did not get a tune, or just cobbled together **** to make it work. If it is done correctly, and boost not overdone, you can certainly have a very reliable turbo mustang.

I have personally owned and had a couple centrifulgal setups, as well as turbo, and delt with the Eaton M90 first hand.. So you decide.


If your on a tight budget dont mess with turbo'ing it, no need to cut corners and half ass it.. But if you have some cash to spend, then do it right
