When I hear about a product like this it makes me want to sell my Cobra and purchase a 2005-06 Mustang GT and strap this baby on. With Shelby GT500 prices still hovering around the $55K mark this is a great alternative for someone who is on a budget. Prices for a 2005-06 Mustang GT are around $22K-$25K and a $6K Turbo kit would put you at about $30K for 550 horsepower, that is one hell of a Shelby GT500 Killer (sleeper) for almost half the cost. If I was Turbonetics I would be marketing this thing as an alternative to the high priced Shelby GT500’s.
After the jump you will find all the details and a high-res photo of the turbo system.Turbonetics Press Release:
Brand new bolt-on turbo system released for the 2005-2007 Ford Mustang GT, delivering 550 HP, perfect driving manners and easy installation.
Simi Valley, CA (PRWEB) June 1, 2007 — Turbonetics is pleased to announce that its bolt-on Ford Mustang GT turbo system is ready for sale and shipping now. Incorporating a patented Ceramic Ball Bearing turbocharger for immediate spool-up and custom ECU re-flash for silky smooth power delivery from the moment that you step on the gas pedal.
Turbonetics R&D team has conquered the complex Ford ECU on the Mustang to deliver forced induction unlike any other system offered on the market today. Our engineers overcame the complex fly-by-wire throttle control to allow our turbocharger system to bring power early in the rpm range, yet drive like stock. With no hesitations, herky-jerky low rpm starts, or partial throttle cruising hiccups that you will find on other supercharger and turbo kits, this system gives you complete control over your high spirited ride. Plus with no supercharger belt to drive, you will have an extra 40 HP to put to the wheels since the turbocharger harnesses the engines exhaust gases to make power. Not to mention that fuel economy is better with turbochargers than other forced induction types because you control the boost with your right foot. The power is there right when you want it, and is not always sapping power and fuel efficiency like an rpm dependent/belt driven supercharger.
Talk about a revolution, this turbo system will change everything you think domestic power should be. Turning a good factory vehicle into a great one, the Turbonetics system features stainless exhaust plumbing and black-chrome aluminum intercooler piping. This kit looks as good as it performs. Rated to make 550 HP, the Turbonetics system brings more than a feeling of nostalgia when you get behind the wheel.
