I was planning on adding a single turbo setup to my stang. I was wondering how much boost can I run before I blow the engine up and what type of setup would be good. I am planning on adding T/F Twistede Wedge heads and will be tunning it with a Tweecer R/T. is there anything that I need to do befor I do the turbo setup. Thanks in advance for all of the help.

You can run as much boost as you want, just depends on the tune.. If your seeing 15#'s with h/c/i, ur likely gonna split the block. I would say 8-10 is a good ammount, and you will make tons of power with heads and cam. Just remember that boost is just a measure of backpressure.

If your tunning with a tweecer, be sure to get a Wideband, so you know what ur air/fuel ratio actually is.

I poped a HG after running my turbostang for 4 nights. My own fault though, was running it without a tune and beating on it. I am getting it dyno tuned on friday though.

I thought that the R/T had a wideband option on it...donen't it that is why I bouth the R/T. Am I wrong about that option? Also will I need to up grade my T/B and Maf with a turbo?

One more question where did you get your turbo setup and how much was it all said and done (if you do not mind my asking)?

No, the tweecer does not tell acurate air/fuel ratio. You need a wideband. I had a tweecer RT but decided to get rid of it, because tuning with boost is not somehting i want to mess around with.

If you buying used, you can save some cash.

I got my whole PTK kit used for 2400, the cold side was recoated before i got it. Everything in great shape. I picked up the SC61 turbo new from precision for 750(polished compressor cover).

So 2400+750 = 3150 total for the turbo part.

Yes you will need a new MAF, and bigger injectors. I would run 42#'ers, dont forget fuel pumops too!
