    Great customer support over the last 2 1/2 months that I have been talking to nathan at HP about the kit and everything. Now I just gotta wait to get out of the desert to put the bad boy on the nothc and also I am gonna take pics and post them and also when I get it dynoed when I get home I will post the dyno sheet and numbers and all that. That way more people can see this kit and also the numbers to it produces on my car.

    I ended up going with T66 turbo also.

    Thanks. I'm going through the same thing you were a few months ago--ITS or HP. Still don't know. HP does come coated and complete, though.

    One nice thing that I noticed with HP, is you get 42lb injectors, 75mm MAF, SN-95 electric fan that will work on a fox body stang, fuel pump, BOV, and deltgate. Also after the y pipe it goes into dual 3" pipes to hook up to your existing exhaust. But that is nice that is 3" so there all you have to do is hook up an H-pipe and then 3" race magnums like I am doing then dumping right before the axle

    I guess if you add up the cost of all of the extra accessories, the HP kit is a no brainer. That and the power achieved with the kit is outstanding (as seen in MM&FF). I just wish I could afford it, now.

    I got real lucky. Got sent to the desert back in Jan for an unkown time and I am still here. That is all tax free money plus the extra pay (Hostile Fire Pay). The big thing there is nothing to spend your monry on as long as you have no other bills back home. So far I have spent around $7k since I have been here on my car. Then I still have a little more to do. But it is nice and I understand where you are coming from because I could have never saved enough money back home with partying like I do:rockon:

    congrats, i'm sure you'll like it
    on another note, i've been wanting to put an sn-95 electric fan on my car but they are too much of a load on the fox body alternator and will kill it in no time b/c of the amperage. have they figured out a way to successfully run it or have they just not killed an alternator yet? if they know something i don't, such as how to hook it up on a 2G alt then share the info. :) i'll be converting asap...otherwise, i'm too cheap to buy a better alt. since mine works ok now

    Besides the little bit of bs in the thread, figured this was better off in the turbo kit feedback section. :)

    Hey Barry D, we havent killed an altenator yet but I would suggest the 94-95 altenator as a great upgrade. We have tested the current draw with a Ferrit charging system analyzer, as well as a Fluke meter. On high speed the fan was drawing 30 amps but on low speed it was only drawing 7 amps. Low speed still moves more air then needed except under the most exteme circumstances. Feel free to ask any more questions take care and God bless.

    When I get pics of the kit and a pic of it when it is installed I will make another post over in the turbo kit forum since you are a mod now you can probably move it over there if you want too though
