i really like the sound of a turbocharger and was looking on ebay to get all the parts need. what all do i need and what do you prefer? and do i need professional installation?

Well I assume you need a turbo and some tools. I recommend you buy a complete kit that is specifically made for mustangs. There are a couple good kits out there. Xchris is a great help on turbos.

thanks for the info..how much hp can i get? and would i have to wielding?

i also was trying to look for parts on ebay to see if i can get a deal. all i need is the turbo, intercooler and pipeing for both? do i have to get a chip and software? i was told i needed to get a laptop and a chip to change factory setting before installing?

Mustangs don't use chips, they use tuners. If you buy a turbo, you usually have to get a preloaded tune from the turbo designers or you need to have it dyno tuned. The vast majority of people can't tune the vehicles themselves.

i know the turbo i was looking at did dynos of before and after
started out with 166hp auto v6 and with 5psi went to 250rwhp and 256rwtq thats close to some stock gts ive seen dynoed here in new mexico and with 9 psi it made 313rwhp and 326rwtq

how much does a complete kit cost and how bad is the turbo harming your engine?
im debating on turboing mine or getting a GT

you can get a sts turbo kit for about 5 grand and i hear a lot of guys talk about not installing and forced inductions systems after 40000 miles but with resonable boost like 5 to 8 pounds i think it would be safe if you turbo your mustang you can get
<LI class=wiki_listitem>Boost: 7-9 psi <LI class=wiki_listitem>Rear Wheel Horsepower: 313 <LI class=wiki_listitem>Rear Wheel Torque: 326
and thats more rwhp than most modded gt mustangs

the price difference between a new gt and a new 09 v6 is about 7 grand

i say get the turbo charger and use the other two gran to turbo save your motor and have a crazy sleeper
