AiResearch Turbo - $550
Cast Mani - $120
Tial Wastegate w/ 6 psi spring - $230
HKS SSQV BOV - $160
SS Oil lines - $35

Intercooler - $40
Piping kit and couplers - $100
Misc. Bolts and fitting - $100

Shipping and Handling Charges - $100

Grand Total - $1435

TRY AND GET ALL THAT FROM BEGI OR FM AND YOU WOULD PAY $3000+

All the flanges I made myself in the shop that I work in and I had my own welder to make my downpipe and the weld everything up!







Alum Radiator, Plate for above the radiator to fill the gap, brake fluid change, megasquirt and wideband 02 get added when I get my income tax check!

What do you guys think for my first build?
3000 dollars from BEGI gets you a dyno proven, *** kicking, stock looking 100% complete turbo kit (with heat shields, lines, fitting ect..). I made a comment about Bell's pricing when i first got into these cars, then bought one of there complete kits second hand. After installing it, and driving the **** out of it, you'll know why there stuff costs a little more....you get what you pay for with them....just my

Back the topic at hand! Nice starter kit! Crank the boost and have fun making some mustang owners cry!
