also, would this cost me more than the $5,500 for the street flight kit, or would it be a lil cheaper?

I don't know.
Do you have all the necessary tools to even attempt a project like this?
Do you have the experience & knowledge needed to design and build a setup like this?
If so then you could build one for maybe 2-3 grand.
If not I would not even attempt it nor think about it in your wildest dreams.
Seriously I am not kidding in the least!

It has been a very long process to get my Turbo CSVT running smoothly. You have to be very good and bending pipe and working with FORDS and you have to know Keyser !  This turbo set-up even tested me. There is a lot to over come, but to be truthful, I would do it again. The power is just so awesome and when people hear the BOV while you leave them in the dust, it is a great, great feeling. I think total cost with labor for shop use and such was around $3,500.oo Thats everything to get it perfect. Good luck if thats what you are going to do. -B.  Make sure to run rich !!!

hey thanx a lot....that really helps, and honestly, that is better than spending 5500.00 on the street flight kit. but just so u know, im not going to do it, i was hopefully looking to have someone do it. there is a big shop around me that has put custom turbos on numerous cars including mustangs. he has also done a lot of work on some svt contours. i was hoping maybe he would give it a shot.. cause i would really like to be in the 13's. my dad has a 03 cobra (highly moded).. my sister has a 04 MACH 1, so i need to do somehting so i can keep up for a lil bit at least.. haha
