<![CDATA[auto shop for turbo kit install?]]>Got an 03 Mustang GT that I will be turboeing shortly. Got quoted at some shops already but was just wondering if you guys knew of any places that deliver that 'bang for your buck'

Thanks!

Where is he wasting money? What turbo do you suggest he gets that is considerably cheaper? It's going to be wasting money if he buys a smaller turbo(likely priced exactly the same) and then has to sell it and buy a new one + get a new manifold/flange.

Thank you sir /. Lol just wanted some insight rails no need for negativity this will be the first car of mine I've actually had a kit put in, and I'm doing it for my 19th birthday.

& the set up I've chose is the GT40R @ 7psi....I'm almost positive at that low of boost I dont need very much, to any at all internal work done. Seller said I'd be rated at around 400-420rwhp after a dyno tune.

Couple that with the fact that last I knew (4+ years since I've really looked) there were really no decent turbo kits for Mustangs. I'd rather have a shop do it than doing it myself as well.
