    the big issue is going to be the fuel system

    i love where in the description on the tubing that it says some cuting may be required. thats a garenteed thing. i really doubt that those headers would clear our stock shock towers. and whats a voltage stablizer?
    the price actualy is really really good for all you get if you really get all that. it would be good for a car with more room.

    Well I have been into turbos for a while now. I have a 1984 300ZX Turbo that will spank most any street car within reason. This guy got this kit from SSautochrome and added some stuff to it. You can get a twin turbo SBF kit here form them! http://www.ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1716

    The kit will take some skill but sould be doable for most.

    I saw the part too about "might" have to cut and fit tubes. Very misleading in my opinion. Is it a great price? I would say no, you get what you pay for and this kit probably uses chinese made turbos that may give you 6 months service.

    Looks to me like this kit was made with EFI Mustangs in mind. There is the conspicuous lack of a carb hat/box and several other things in the description that suggest the seller just thought, "well this is for a 302, Mavericks have 302's, so now it's a Maverick kit!"

    well i have bought this stuff before and the headers will crack they are too thin the wastegates i have bought work fine if you are running efi the fuel management units work great too the piping kits are great too but you will have to fab everything yourself

    Wow, I'd rather just fab up my own setup for a Maverick like I did for my Z28... Just my .02 though.
