ok, so I've noticed alot of these turbos for sale cheap on ebay, whats the deal with them, are they worth buying, and I was also wondering if I was to buy one, what do I have to do to mount one up, my car is stock right now, what is needed to use one, they don't have the bolt up setup for the downpipe like stock, and whatnot, anyone using on? any help would help.

I just got done installing mine. I bought mine from Mike Turbo Inc. They are great turbos, they use Garrett center cartridges and their own Masterpower housings , the mustang guys really like them. Your going to need fuel mods, a T4 manifold and spacer, fuel controller, wideband, custom downpipe, AN oiling lines, and rebuilt motor with a MHG, ARPS, and all the other goodies to really get to feel the potential of a T-70. For my build I literally had to modify every single part that was involved in putting the turbo on in some way, I even had to grind down the exhaust housing flange to clear the drain fitting, had to mill my spacer to fit, yup im pretty sure every last piece was modified in someway.

Your better off just going with an upgraded CT-26 your car being completely stock, I got a 60-1 CT-26 for sale ;)

I used a MP T70 on my build and was very pleased with it. I believe that they are a cut above the chinese stuff (they are Brazilian made), and a good value for a budget build. But Fletch is right, in terms of going from a stock CT to one means alot of supporting mods. Unless you are fully commited to that prospect, an upgraded CT is a good way to go.
