This STS Turbo company sells turbo kits but it looks like only for the newer '05 and up Mustangs. And yes you can buy turbo's from different companys but this turbo system is different, i've never heard one like it before... I emailed them about if they offer a kit for a Fox or if you have a setup that could make it work. Anyways, this turbo sounds sick and i've never heard any other turbos like it. Check it out!

Do you guys know of any other Companys that make a turbo similar to this product for a fox body?

Sounds like a rear/remote mount kit.
In that case, it never will sound that way on a fox.

You guys need to do some more searching on video's of turbo fox's. My turbo's whilstle like banshee's and sound quite similar to the video posted. The exhaust note is far better on mine I might add though.

As far as the remote mount turbo's go...they are a band-aid fix for packaging constraints in the engine compartment. Fox's have more than enough room to fit them in the bay...and no room to fit them under the car.

I remember seeing an article in a Mustang mag about a year or so ago where they installed them in the rear. It was due to room constraints and I guess it also kept the temp down, too

To get what sound? Rear mount turbo's sound the same as standard mount turbo's. The sound just comes from a slightly different location

Older thread from 94-95, where GreenMustangGt made his own rear mount twin turbo setup. It should be noted that he removed this setup after having ground clearance issues, but it should be possible to replicate something on a Fox.
