ford turbo kits

im thinking of buying one of these kits for my EB.
has anyone really looked into thses kits or bought one? if so id be very interested in your opinions... or anyone elses for that matter. could the money be better spent on a supercharger kit ( id prefer turbo tho !! ) or a nice cam etc... upgrade.. give me your thoughts guys/gals
i found their customer services to be of very high quality answering all the question si had
they said
Thank you for your enquiry. The information that you are after can be found at
www.gasresearchpc.com.au Fuel economy on our AU falcon is at around 8ltrs per
100km on the open road and 10 around town. Reliability has proven to be strong
point with the well over 40000kms of solid testing on our test car along with 12 kits
already fitted to vehicles in the market place"

with all this info in mind i think its a goer.....
would i have to get my engine, auto, diff reconditioned? my car has 250,000 k but has had a full head rebuild 5 thou ks ago..
any other comments would be great
thanks

Id steer clear of that setup, as it doesnt even use an intercooler.
Although you may be able to adapt a top mount intercooler for it from a WRX or GTiR or something and add a bonnet scoop.....hmmm

bottom end would need a freshen up...not too sure how long the auto would tolerate that power...but I guess that really depends how you treat it....

do a search on the forum. i think there have been a few posts like this.

only other major thing to consider is insurance.
