Why is this kit so cheap?

Well I dont think their worth what they are going for. Point being is that all they are is a pair of junkyard turbos. Kind of looks like they want you to believe your bidding on some special Mustang twin turbo kit but in reality, the turbos are probably the cheapest part of a twin turbo buildup and thats all they are selling. There is alot of plumbing to fabricate and stuff like that. Its not like your gonna buy these turbos, bolt em on and go. And if they are the chrystler turbos (which I believe they are), they aren't all that popular for a 5.0 TT setup since they are a bit small. I have seen it done and pople have made them work but they aren't optimum.Paul Perreca said:so they are no good?

soontobefastfox said:you just described a supercharger and yes supers are easier. IMO I would go super over turbo, I'm gonna get attacked for this one but thats my opinion because, you can get equal power from both a super or a turbo.
millhouse said:Sure you can get equal h/p from each…but a turbo is going to have a fatter torque and h/p curve than a cetri supercharger by far.
This also means you can run a more reasonable rear end gear for freeway use…which will actually help the turbo/turbo's spool quicker.
Assuming the tune is correct, you should be able to squeeze out more h/p safely on a turbo.
Most turbo's are intercooled…which makes it safer to run more boost on pump fuel.
You also don’t have the excess forces applied to the crank on a turbo as you do with a supercharger.
Just my $.02
will make more power and torque at same psi, cause its using wasted exhaust gas to turn, instead of being a parasitic drag on the motor. like a monkey on your back, superchargers are less efficient than turbos, as far as at a lower rpm... it depends, roots blowers make boost and hp/tq off idle, centri's make it later, turbos, it depends on what size you use as to when they will spool. turbos> superchargers.Mark89coupe said:I was just going to ask this question. Good post!
Anyway, Turbo and super with equal PSI, say 5psi, the turbo will make more power and torque and do it at a lower rpm?
5.0 computers don't always enjoy turbos, and they can easily put the car into the DFI zone, that's no walk in the park.Mark89coupe said:How can a turbo be a big PITA?
It sounds like an easy install.
