Default Is there a 2.3l turbo kit???

Is there one out there for a foxbody mustang? I found one for a 2.3l ranger
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4-TURBO-KIT-FORD-97-98-02-RANGER-2-3L-2-5L-CORRADO_W0QQitemZ280340227523QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMo tors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item41459465 c3&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1171|65%3A 12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Will this work? Where can I find one that'll work. I might do a turbo but buy it new. I don't want used and it's to hard to find around me. Thanks in advance.

Cool

Here's your complete turbo kit, right here!!!
Complete turbo kit for '93 Mustang



Sorry, couldn't resist! As has been stated many times on this board, you CAN NOT just slap a turbo on a naturally aspirated 2.3 and expect it to last more than 100 miles! Do a search. If you really want to go turbo, buy a donor car and swap everything over.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../deadhorse.gif

That link has NOTHING to do with turbocharging! It's an electric fan that blows air into your intake tube. Utterly useless! But hey, there's always some fool that'll dump $400 on the latest gizmo because it's on a fancy website, looks good and is accompanied by outrageous claims. It's called marketing! You can achieve the same, if not better results by spending $40 on a quality K&N cone filter and some PVC pipe and fab your own cold air intake system! And, as far as their turbocharger kits, they don't even sell a turbo in them!

Who's to say if i works on not. It's just an idea, for people that can't afford swapping an engine.

That's just as stupid and a waist of money as the TURBONATOR.
Turbonator
There is no way this thing can give up to 55 hp. Neither one of them work.

I looked at it too. I was thinking "Because of the price how could it be fake?" It does serve the same purpose as a cai done right. If you want to do that, buy a small fan and shove it in your cia tube after the filter and plug it in. That's what I see it adds up to. G-A-R-B-A-G-E. Have a nice day kids.
