Hi all! I was recently lucky enough to get my hands on a 2018 GT and while the 460 has been fun over the past few months... I WANT MORE! I was looking at the hellion sleeper twin turbo kit and honestly I haven't had much experience with boost or performance numbers as big as this kit claims so I'm wondering what else would I need to upgrade in addition to the twin turbo kit?

I'd have to agree with Jackson's advice above. I love my twins but I spent the first few months after install tweaking, adjusting and working on getting things just right. Not a big deal if you know how to do things yourself but not ideal for a novice. There are easier options for getting into forced induction. What are your goals with the car? Starting there would help people give you specific advice to your situation.

If I were you I would go with a blower possible something simple turbo is cool and all but blower is easier to work on and deal with also less maintenance

The Hellion is seriously impressive. I love the underbody setup. But the plumbing is a bit much for me.

Not good for a daily driver in my neck of the woods. Intake filters at street level.

I like centrifugals myself. I won't be looking for more than 700rhp.

For 700whp you can use any kit on the market and hit that easy. I would not worry about turbo unless you are looking to have some big power available. Procharger/vortech/ess will get you where you want to be and more

You'd actually be surprised. The little couplers bend and tuck them up by the engine nicely. I put 17k miles on my kit in the last year and I pulled the filters off to clean them up and they still look great. Even after driving through our monsoons all summer. They are a pain in the ass to remove and reinstall though.

Too much high water where we live. Arizona is a good place for it.

I also have concerns about reduced ground clearance, especially on a lowered car..

I do like their systems though.

You'd basically have to be in water up to the engine block in order to suck water into the turbos. I do understand your concern about running it on a lowered car though. I keep mine at stock ride height.

We get it even higher. Our puddles get that high. Of course I avoid if at all possible.. On a Mustang you are safe till the water hits bumper height. The fresh air intake is just above it.

Just a Houston reality.

We had the most rainy days in over a century this last summer. I was worried a few times but the filters tuck up nicely.

Stock height clearance is great but I wouldn't trust it lowered either.

Hi! Mostly just wondering what internals I'll need to upgrade in order to run the kit, I will most likely have professional help with install/tuning
