This is new to me, has anybody heard of the GT28RS turbo aka the Disco Potato? Is it any good?
i.e. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/188454275.html

Not one single person has heard of this. I wasn't aware there is a choice of turbos for 5.0 Mustangs, but it appears there is. This kit is brand new and comparably priced to a used Vortech, so it looks like one hell of a deal.

i heard those kits are a hit or miss with the alignment and quality is ok.and looks like youll have to make down pipes and some of the cold side piping as well.

Try contacting this guy

He seems to know a bit about them.
EDIT: BTW, try and get your hands on a copy of MM&FF May 2006. They cover a bunch of turbo kits for Mustangs.

anyone know anybody running this this kit on there car? curious on how efficient it'll put the power down. I'm assuming that there would be boost leak with all the pipes held together by rubber connectors rather then welded

Looks like a cheap incomplete kit to me. You get what you pay for on 5.0 Turbo kits. I wouldn't touch that.
