with a lift like that i doubt you would need the snorkle on a turbo...... unless you do off roading, but id go with the Turbo man, sounds awesome and gain in gas mileage also less strain on the engine

 

So after my lift and wheel (about 7k) I will need to save up about another 6-7 g's for the turbo? Does that sound right?

If so I will have a turbo in about 20 years! lol

 

$3900 to be exact.

 

But that doesnt inculde, pipeing, instalation, tuning etc does it? I figured that would be another thousand easy!

 

you can safely run 5psi, and svt is right...... save another $500 for a tune and ur good.... pretty inexpensive right??

 

no thats for the complete set up man, the pipeing, the turbo, EVERYTHING, the price he just told you is for everything you need...... except for the tune which is another $500 atleast

 

If thats true, it would be cheaper than s/c'ing, wouldnt it?

When I was looking into a turbo system for my Bullitt, the complete job woulda ran me about 7.5k!

 

get a turbo man and dont lift the truck. figure in around $4500 with tuning

 

if im not mistaken at one point dave told me to upgrade the turbo it would be $400..... for the upgraded turbo that can handle 15psi! thats an upgrade well worth $400 man

 

this is only for the 4.6's also. 3v 5.4's are excluded

 

Wouldnt want to run 15psi on a stock block 5.4 anyways!!!! Ouch!

Is there anyone making forged shortblocks for the new engine yet? That would be a fun ride, forged and boosted sky high, with a shot of N2O thrown in for giggles. lol.

I think I will go with my lift first, I need to be able to offroad, and stock just doesnt cut it! But a turbo would be nice. Man would it! Now you all got me wanting to spend more money!

Crash! runs 20 psi on his 02 4.6 with stock internals. he was at 478 rwhp. this is with the turbo kit that he manufactured not the STS. the STS will only throw down around 8 psi 330 hp to the wheels.

 

I can't find the sts web site. Is this the kit that has the turbo under the truck? What do you all think about that. Sounds like a smart idea. Only thing I would worry about would be the oil lines.

 

the website is Ststurbo.com they dont mention having a set up for ford on the site, only chevrolet/GMC and coming out for the dodge Hemi ram..... theres a section that shows you how the system works and will answer all ur questions

 

Dang!!! Thats sounds like he is running on borowed time! Main thing is a safe tune to keep the a/f ratio safe.
