the phone number is here in the bay area. I shot an email off to them to see if they'd consider doing a 5.4 kit. We'll see. I don't really have an interest in going turbo but I know a bunch of the 5.4L crowd is. If I get any sort of info on them I'll fill y'all in.

their good. more turbos on v6 mustangs then anyone i know. most with no complaints.

Andy(the owner) has proven himself over the years. The best kits for v6 mustang out there.

start counting. TMA is worth it.

J runs a TMA v2 twin kit and makes 600rwhp at 16psi.

id have the sinlge drag kit on mine right now if they were out when i started looking for a supercharger.

well... he's local. He's running it out of his dads shed but it looks like the guy's got skillz. I told him to check in over here. I want to find a way to get a 5.4 turbo kit on the market. That would be brutal.

nah and it is worth it to upgrade to a better turbo on that for alittle more.

rofl. isn't it stock right now? not sure but i think to handle that much boost you'll need to do some engine building IE: Forged internals, Cams, etc. buy some slicks, plus you'll need gauges and etc.

350rwhp will be the max on stock internals. that can easily be made with the street kit.

once forged internals are in then you can go 600rwhp+.

I was just sayin that it comes with a smaller turbo. id spend the extra like $200 and get a more effiecient one. That way you got more if you need it.

if you look at the drag kit. i was gonna spend the $180 more to get the PT68 turbo. capable of 800hp. rather than the pt61 saying capable of 680hp. that's 120hp possibility for just a small amount more. great deal IMO.

350max? I don't know about that. I mean teal beast runs near 400rwhp stock junkyard motor on 15psi. Justin of VMP tuning runs 450rwhp on his junkyard motor too. You cant run that power all the time its for when your drag racing etc.. but 350rwhp seems like a low number from what I have seen over the years. Hell I think teals low boost setting is 350ish or more.

You'd be suprised at what the stock internals will handle...

And yes TMA turbo is very good. I actually had talked to Andy maybe a year ago, wanted to run a setup, but i think smog was going to be an issue.

350rwhp is just the accepted hp rating on the motor so that it will last along time being daily driven.

justin bent rods and had some other stuff pushed really far. it was still impressive how long his motor lasted. but more to the internals lasting, prolly was more about how well he tuned the car.

The tune is more about the motor lasting. in that said 350rwhp should stand up to even an average tuner IMO. going farther than that on someone not experienced can be a new motor experience.
