Oh yeah! DEFF gonna be nice to it!:biglaugh: I have been a mustang owner several times over......and this car makes me rethink that maybe Mustangs are not my favorite car LOL What I can't get over is the fact that it rides like a Lincoln or a caddy...NOT a sports car! I am diggin that! :naughty:

when you say like a lincoln or caddy, you mean like a big metal boat right? :p ... until that turbo spools up and throws u back in the seat :D

Assuming she does not have the stock turbo any more .... My stock turbo never did much for Mentally or physically for that matter haha

But my 60-1 on the over hand causes a BIG.....::bhg::

as far as I know it is all stock but yeah I have kicked the turbo in a couple times and it does throw ya back in the seat a bit. I could be wrong though....I don't know a whole heck of a lot about turbo charged engines but I do know I like em! LOL :biglaugh:

Misty - my favorite cheapest stock turbo mod: cost - about $2 ....step one buy 8 washers, step two buy 2 slightly longer bolts than the ones currently on the turbo wastegate, step 3 shim wastegate for 3-5 more psi... The stock ct26 is rated at 11hp per psi so that should slightly increase that "throw you back into the seat" sensation : D .. Make sure your hg is in good shape tho, and this can lower the lifespan of the turbo as well..
