    It's going to be an expensive exercise with a non guaranteed outcome.

    Most, if not all, kits for the Mustang have the turbo in front of the engine.
    Exhaust is piped forward and then re-routed through the turbo to the back.

    Twin turbo most commonly sit in the void in front of the wheel arches. Again the exhausts are re-routed.

    This one is interesting as the engine also has a S/C fitted.

    Bear in mind that these sets are developed for the Mustang GT and the space requirements are not suited for the ZT 260.
    These means a lot of modifications, no guaranteed result and money that's near enough S/C territory.
    Also the tunes provided are not suited for the 260 (as proven with various self installed S/C that went bang)

    All in all, good luck and it will be an interesting project or a money pit with nothing to show for.........
    Again with enough funds everything is possible but than I'd rather install a S/C

    Wow, that twin turbo and S/C setup looks amazing! Not one for a 260 as you say due to size and space issues as well as handling the power and engine map considerations, but one can dream!!

    Are you sure you were looking in the engine bay and not the boot?

    Maybe for the individual components, but not for all the plumbing and pipework that's needed

    What's the point of having meters of scaffolding under the car all the way to the rear and then back again to get air to the intake manifold


    Just have a look here http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgur...9QEwBw&dur=497

    and have a read here http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...win-turbo.html

    The problem with these kits is the obvious turbo lag and the problem of getting the oil flow reliable.
    Also an air-intake near the rear under the car doesn't seem ideal with regards to water intake etc.

    Also I think there is no space whatsoever on the 260 to do this.
