Hey ya’ll, I'm in the research phase and basically flipping through the brochure for the future. I may never go forced induction, but I’m curious to hear people’s experiences.
Current car:
● 2006 Mustang GT 5-speed manual
● 62,000 km
● Stock bottom end
● JLT Series 3 CAI
● BBK long-tube headers
● BBK high-flow catted X-pipe
● Corsa Sport axle-backs
● Steeda underdrive pulleys
● Custom 94 octane dyno tune, currently data logging for a remote tune from Lito
If I ever go FI, I'd be looking for a conservative setup focused on longevity—probably somewhere around 450–500 whp while keeping torque at or below roughly 450 lb-ft. The goal would be a reliable, fun street car, not a max-effort build.
The kits I'm currently aware of are:
● Vortech V-3 Si
● ProCharger (P-1SC-1 / P-1X)
● Department of Boost GT450 (M122)
Are there any other kits still worth considering?
I'd really like to hear from people with first-hand experience:
● Which kit did you choose and why?
● If you've owned both centrifugal and PD setups, which did you prefer?
● How do they compare in normal street driving versus WOT?
● Any regrets?
● How has reliability been on the stock bottom end?
Thanks in advance—I know this topic has been discussed a lot, but I'm hoping to hear from owners who've actually lived with these setups.
