    Twin turbos are awesome if they are properly installed and are a quality turbo charger. I have heard a lot of talk on people getting good deals on twin turbos from ebay recently but have yet to see one at the track but am sure I will soon. A normal helion twin turbo professionally installed on a new mustang will run you around $8,000-$10,000 from start to finish. To install one on your own is a lot of work. I just have a hard time believing that a $1000 twin turbo will be good for your car. If I were you, I would wait until my neighbor installs his and give him 2 weeks of driving his car around with it until you buy one for your car. See if he has anything break on his car in those 2 weeks.
    P.S.
    a twin turbo will always be able to generate more hp then a supercharger, they are more efficient. They cost more to set up on a stock car that is not set up for a power adder though and are more complex to install.

    My Friend (^_^) believe me the best thing for your Mustang is to keep it as it is. and tray to avoid installing those upgraders items it will only harm your MUSTANG in the long run and waste your money too.
    The best thing is to keep it as it manufactured.
    Best Regards,

    the only problem i see is that it is an incomplete kit, and depending on the quality of parts you use to complete it, you may be spending just as much as a less complicated, factory warrantied, professionally engineered, better looking supercharger.
    and for all the bad talk you hear about superchargers… you need to know a roots blower and a centrifugal supercharger are VERY different.
    this word inefficient get thrown around like a blanket for ALL superchargers, not true.
    look at Whipple’s twin screws, very efficient.

    You would probobly be better off getting a Supercharger insted of a Turbo. Chances are you will get more power and it will make your stang look more badass.

    A Twin turbo set-up will net you much more hp than a supercharger set-up. keep in mind that this kit is going to require a lot of installation. If you are a good mechanic, not a decent mechanic, a good mechanic, then it can be done. Now if you feel comfortable installing it, then buy the kit. It looks like you are going to need some more parts than what comes with the kit though. I would talk to your neighbor to see what else you need and how much work it is going to take.

    turbo = more efficient power increase but less technical help. supercharger = less efficient power increase but tons of technical support.

    not if you want to keep your engine in one piece. You will need stronger rods and a stronger crank bfore u even consider this mod

    As tempting as Twin Turbo sounds for your car (I have a 2001 Mustang GT and I have been considering forced induction too), it’s veryyyy hard to trust the quality of a $1000 kit. I was checking out the eBay page and I have never heard of that brand of turbo before. If you’re looking for turbos, Garrett turbos are definitely a name brand turbo. I would never install something like that on my car because once you do it, it’s very hard to go back to stock. And if it messes something up, you’re out of luck. Another misleading part is that the warranty is for the Turbos only and won’t cover any damage to your engine. I would NOT get this for my car. Instead, go for a reputable seller (preferably not on eBay) and get something that will be more trustworthy and reliable. This site below has been selling Mustang turbo’s and turbo’s for other cars for a long time. I know it’s much more expensive but it will be worth it if you choose to go this route. http://www.turbochargedpower.com/

    For sure then you can drive it anywhere. Do the job right the first time spend the dollars upfront on the good gear.
