When it comes to power adders, you get what you pay for.

You can get better used. Your getting what you paid for like LAF said.

you gotta register. heres the info on it tho.

"Up for sale or trade is the procharger renegade kit. It was originally designed for a fox body mustang but i got it to fit my 94 cobra without much trouble at all. The blower is rated at 950hp or so and the whistle at idle sounds amazing. Ths kit will come with all the hardware such as the headunit, procharger bracket assembly, intercooler, piping, Blowoff valve, oil lines etc. Its a great kit and works great. Right now with only a 6psi pulley it put down 480rwhp. It should be good to around 18-20 psi and 800 rwhp. Please let me know if interested. Thanks

price- 2000 OBO"

there may be more on the forums.

I have a friend that bought a turbo kit off ebay, came with just about the same things, and it blew after he ran it for about three months. The exaust wheel blew apart at 14psi. :angry7: You deffinatly get what you pay for. You would probaly be better off peicing it together yourself. Bewtween craigslist and ebay you could probaly get alot of nice good condition quality used parts pretty cheap. It was on a 240 though not a mustang, but still it was tuned in by a shop, so it wasn't poor tuning that blew it.

14 psi, is not a low boost setting by any standard, im sure if you use a lot of these kits within a respectable range8-10 psi they will hold up decently. Again you get what you pay for, you cant expect to pay 2k for a brand new kit and make 600hp on 18-20 psi.... even if they advertise that the kit can do it.

Power Adders are fine on stock cars..

Job Spetter did a turbo kit on a bone stock Fox Mustang GT. The car made like 450 and was over 500 ft lb of torque.

Superchargers on stock 5.0 cars have made in the mid to high 300's without a problem. All depends on what power he is looking for.

Oh shit dude that was years ago.

Go check out www.turbomustangs.com or corral...do a search on stock 5.0 Turbo cars.

Turbo's are obnoxious...I don't recommend them on daily driven cars, but that is me. Some people have had great success with them on a DD. They are a bitch to maintain and are finicky. One day the car will run perfect, the next day it will run like shit.
