Started to get a bit of turbo envy...

Nice find. So what can one realisticly expect for mpg from one of thes stock? I know the three speed must be killing it. I know of one that I have been thinking of picking up for a daily.

I'm going to shoot for a world class T-5 from 90-94 5.0 stang which are rated to handle 300hp.

I've got to play with/figure out the ideal gearing which is all new territory for me so I've got plenty of reading up to do.

these are not very good on gas. I think they get around 14-20mpg stock. Not sure what mods can be done to improve it.

I also thought at one point to make it a dd since it's automatic but that would be such a waste of a nice rwd turbo :laugh:

Ouch. 5.0 Mustangs are better on gas than that. Might have to reconsider now. Bummer, because I really want one.
