Make srue the morot is solid then get a solid & conservative tune and you will be good to go.

That is IF the turbo kit is reputable. I haven't looked into the turbo stuff personally but I think the website to check it out is turbostangs.com ...

Do your homeowrk before forking over the $$s...

don't forget if you get bigger injectors you'll need a matching mass air meter. turbos are fun but do your homework before getting into them.

yes, a lot of homework. and you want to stick with numerically lower gears (3.08 or 3.27) for a turbo. with steeper gears like the 3.73s you mentioned, the engine revs quicker and wont allow the turbo to build full boost. 3.27s will put more load on the engine/turbo. i'm no expert but that's the theory i have from researching and seeing what combos people have. also, you can learn a LOT from www.theturboforums.com (previously turbomustangs.com). also, make sure you dont forget about important things like the cooling system, head gaskets, etc. how many miles does the engine have on it?

good luck

Its only better to get the lower ratio gears if ur doing a turbo! If u are going N/A.....DEFENTLEY get the 373's

www.hpperformance.com has a kit for our cars that comes with absolutely everything youll need and i can vouch for that. installed one on a 95 with a friend. kit cost him around 4500 but its worth it. defiitely will have to get a tune.

What kind of turbo kit is it? As long as it is a reputable dealer I think that you should go for it and get some 3.27 gears.
