So ive pretty much boiled it down to one of these two kits. Looking at the pros and cons of each, which do you guys figure would be the best im leaning more towards the twin turbo.

Twin turbo kit:

Errr: I do not see Turbo Kit listed for the S197.

The TT takes A LOT of modification and installation. There is more that can go wrong with the TT than the integrated packaged S/Cs.

S/Cing, although initially more expensive, provides exceptional HP/TQ increases without the hours of installation and potential issues associated with the conversion and modification of the intake, exhaust and combustion systems.

I am preferential to the Saleen. When Whipple and Lysholm ceased their contract obligations, Lysholm worked closely with Bill Tally at Saleen to ensure they had a dialed-in core twin-screw design.

If you go with the Kenne Bell, just make sure it is intercooled. There are two kits available and I am not sure if the one you linked includes the IC or if it is the base model 2.6L 5 psi non-intercooled.

Sorry i forgot to mention that the website doesnt say they make it for the 05 but they do, not sure why it isnt on the website. And I will definetly get the intercooler, if im spending that much money already why not right.

Have you looked at what turbohorsepower.com has to offer? I am in the middle of installing their kit and it is a great kit at a good price. You can see my install here http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150

I looked at the turbo kit your installing and it seems great!! Does that come with a tune as well? With MPH you mail them your cars computer and they flash it and mail it back to you.

No it doesn't come with a tune. If someone told me they could mail order me a tune that would work for a twin turbo setup I would run from them as fast as I could. There are so many variables with this kind of setup the only thing a mail order tune would be good for would be to start the car to check for leaks. I wouldn't even drive it to the custom tuner with a mail order tune.

I would go w/ the KB for a 05 mustang, mostly because of the torque advantages down low. Alot better for moving weight on the street. Should be better for drivability as well. I prefer turbo's to S/C's myself, but I wouldn't consider one on my S197 unless I got the weight down first. Also, as mentioned, turbos are harder to tune get set up correctly, where the S/C is pretty easy to install in comparison.
