Flapjack
Lunatic engine swapper
I've been back and forth over which power adder to choose for my 2013 GT. I was even tempted to try, for the first time, a positive displacement blower. I really, really liked everything about the Edelbrock kit, but I'm at 7300ft in Peyton, CO. They said they could sell me a pulley to add the 4-5psi I typically lose at this altitude, but they said it would completely void my warranty. Fine, I get that... I'm spinning the blower harder, putting more strain on the crank and engine components, etc.
It was then that I said "what was I thinking", and went back to looking at turbos.
I originally thought I wanted a twin turbo kit, just like in my 05 Mustang (was considering the Hellion kit)... but then I saw JPC single turbo kit. I've always hated the exhaust routing issues with a single down pipe compared to a twin setup where the headers are essentially reversed (I actually think Hellion reuses stock headers) and the straight down pipe going straight back to the exhaust. However, it looks like things still need to be relocated (at least the PCM). I'd rather not mess with that, so I'm now leaning towards the JPC... as I've read their fitment is excellent.
So I'd like to see who's used either of them, what they liked/loved and what they hated, etc. Also, what made them choose their kit over the other... including other brands/FI types they may have considered.
Thanks!
