yea lots of folks.. im one.
If your still running the stock block, with no plans to upgrade, you might want to limit your power output. a 306 with good heads, and a decent sized turbo would have no problem making 500-600h/p or more.. Be prepared to moddify things once you go past the 500-520mark.. thats when it starts to get expensive

sounds good, what block does DSS use?
never the less, unless you motor has super high compression, you wont have a problem running boost through it.
It helps to have 9.5:1 or less though.
Might want to concider some MLS gaskets, 42lb injectors, good fuel pump, or fuel system, and of course the turbo kit.

Stock block? If so you will still crack the block at about 550-650 RWHP. Building a shortblock using the stock block with good internals is like whipping your a** with a turd.

Even better, go to turbomustangs.com.h0oligan said:If i were you, i would go pick up this month's issue of MM&FFs; it's all about turbos on mustangs. I quote: "Everything you need to know to turbocharge your mustang" It gave me a few ideas...

i'd only go there if you have a really good idea about turboing a stang and have specific questions. MM&FF might be a good first step then onto there
but either way, turbomustangs.com is a great resourse

HP does make one of the better kits, in terms of bang for the buck. It's gotten steadily more expensive, though. Used to be available for $4000 flat, now it's up to $4250 or something. If I were in the market right now, I would also look at PTK, they make a nice setup.Hotrodsun said:

I don't have an SN95 but I am turbocharged. I did a lot of research before purchasing my kit. I ended up going with PTK's kit and I am very happy with the build quality and service.

I am running a Cartech outlaw turbo on mine. It is fun, to say the least. I am going to the dyno to see what how much it produces.
On turbomustangs.com just a week or two ago someone was selling a brand new kit for about $3400. That was how I got mine.
I haven't seen any other turbo Mustangs so I can't comment on their kits, but from what I heard, every kit has some kind of fitment issues. My headers and cross over pipe fit great. But I had to work on getting the down pipe connected. The inner cooler piping was a pain.
Now that I have installed one. I think I would get the headers and crossover from someone and then have a good exhaust shop weld up the rest so it fits the car. A local shop here said he could have done it and I think it would of only cost a little more than buying it from Cartech, but it would fit better.
I have most of my bugs worked out (until I split the block
). When it is all said and done, it was worth the extra problems. The low end torque is amazing and I am only at 9 psi.
One thing, if you do order a kit, be willing to wait a few months to get your kit and be patient. I have heard a lot of people get their kits delayed for one reason or another.
