This is not a thread to help me decide on a turbo kit or a supercharger kit.
I simply want to satisfy my curiosity here. I always loved turbo mustangs (never owned one) and i read about all the turbo systems available all the time. Trying to soak up as much info as I can. Just an odd hobby of mine.
I simply wanted to get some input from people that have any kind of turbo setup on their cars.
I just had an opportunity to see a hellion TT car in person at a local car show and i could not stop drooling.
Got to talk to the owner and he basically told me, its not worth the hassle. In his words the base kit was just a begining and by the time its all said and done you're 15grand in a hole with still the stock motor. He had to modify the inlet tube, move the maff.... On top of that, the tune is still not 100% there after 30ish hours of tuning??
He started it up and it idled like stock, perfect. With a closed hood, i wouldnt know the car had twins on it...
Needless to say that was hard to hear lol
So, to the turbo stang owners on here:
Which kit do you own?
Stock or built motor?
How was the fit, ease of instalation?
What else, if anything, did you have to do to the car/kit to make it run perfect and or fit properly?
Who did the tune and how tough was that process?
Finally, do you have ANY issues with the car/kit after it was instlled/tuned?
