Hey Guys,
I know many of you have shared my frustration over the lack of Forced induction options for the Cougar/Contour platform. Well, today things have turned around for us. While walking to my car tonight I just happened to stumble upon a company called Innovative Turbo Solutions which fabricates quality custom kits for our cars at a much reasonable price than Street Flight of Vortech. The owner of the shop Carson McKee was kind enough to give me a tour of their facility where they make custom kits which include T-60 garrett Turbo, air to air front mount intercooler, boost and A/F gauge, custom dyno tuning, warranty on all parts, etc, and etc all for about $3200 for the 2.0L and $3800 for the 2.5L. In fact as I was touring the shop there was SVT Contour on the rack waiting to install a returnless Vortech kit. The owner was aware of the limited market for our cars and states that when people hear their prices they usually think it not feasible or it's not a quality product. I just recenlty settled on the Vortech kit after searching for months on other options after being told that FI couldn't be done safely or that it would cost $5000-6000 just to fabricate the kit, but apparently that is not the case. Needless to say I have the Vortech S/C and I'm sure that I'll be happy with it but I would have gone for the more reliable and greater output of the turbo. I was so excited to share the news that I forget to get all the actual parts included in the kit but I promise you that it's worth the time to call or check out the website for more details.
