[QUOTE="justinschmidt1, post: 615147, member: 8889"] Do some more research dude...1700 bucks is the base, you will want to upgrade to the better turbo which will put you at 2k for the kit and you still will need injectors, fuel pump, spark plugs, MAF, and a sct tuner with a custom tune which will easily cost you another 1k, not to mention the fact that you will need to run a tubular k member and I thought you had to run tubular a arms and coil overs up front for it to fit. So that "1700" kit jumps to something like 4k real quick. Another thing you might want to know is that kit is made with weak metal and people have had it crack already. At this point I wouldnt even bother turboing a 4.6 mustang unless you have like 6k to spend. Just go with a vortech kit, cheap, easy, effective...on 8-9 psi with the cams and shit in your sig you could probably pull 400 rwhp. For whatever reason it seems like the turbo 4.6 cars are blowing more often than the supercharged ones even though the blown cars are running more boost. I would bet the tune is a lot more accurate with a blower car than a turbo car. [/QUOTE]
