B&G offers its Stage 1 and Stage 2 kits, with both kits coming with everything needed for installation, as well as being test-fitted on B&G's in-house chassis. No trimming is required with either kit, all accessories can be kept, and they will only work with hatchback engine mounts.
B&G offers the same kit for both the Two-Valve and Four-Valve engines. The twin-turbo setup is a custom application (call B&G for more info), but the single-turbo deal is a bolt-in kit. It requires slight trimming of the inner bumper to clear the intercooler, and you'll need to pick up the needed front suspension components such as an aftermarket K-member and coilovers. The kit was test-fitted with both D&D and QA1 K-members. You'll also need to supply an upper hard line and fill neck, as well as an overflow tank.
One more note: On '96-'98 cars, you must move the driver-side coil packs. When you call B&G, make sure you mention you read about all of its kits in this buyer's guide. You might have some money left over to buy lunch if you do!

'05-'09 4.6L Three-Valve '05-'09 4.0L V-6STS Turbo has a unique way of mounting its turbos. Instead of the tried-and-true underhood location, the turbos are located remotely in the rear of the car.
STS has three turbo kits for '05-and-up Mustangs. For the Three-Valve-equipped Stangs, you have a choice of a single or a twin-turbo setup. The single-turbo kit is good for 400 hp at 6 psi of boost, while the twin-turbo setup can ring out 500 hp on low boost, 650 hp at higher boost levels, and 1,000 or more horsepower on a modified engine.
STS also offers a kit for 4.0L V-6 cars. For now, the kit is only available in a single-turbo configuration, but expect horsepower figures to check out in the neighborhood of 250 at 5 psi of boost, and a V-8-slaying 313 hp at 9 psi of boost. Keep in mind, all of those horsepower numbers are dyno-proven on STS' dyno and measured at the rear wheels.
