Wink Hello / Hallo / Hola

Hello, I will be coming to Germany soon, I guess around January '08. I have a '05 Mustang V6, and I am trying to find out of a shop that installs turbos for my type of vehicle. Does any one have any ideas?


(Sorry my German is not that good).
Ich bin neu hier, werde ich nach Deutschland Januar 2008 hereingekommen werden. Ich habe einen V6 Mustang und ich will einen Turbo. Kann irgendein ein erzählt mir, wo ich Ein erhalten kann? Ich werde in Schwinfurt leben.

Buenos / Buenas.. Yo voy a a hacer mi residencia en Alemani del 2008, quiero preguntar si algunos de ustedes saben en don podre encontrar un Turbo para un Mustang V6, mi automobil es del 2005. Gracias por cualquier alluda.

First off... welcome to the forums from a fellow european.

Since the Mustang is a lot less common here then it is in the US, the maintenance and modifications are in tandem with that. Basically that means: You're gonna end up with someone that probably has never seen the car, or done that specific modification to it.

As to parts, those I'm pretty sure will have to come from the US. So factor in shipping aswell. Since the Mustang isn't a european car, you can rest assured that while they do have some parts on this side in the Ford warehouse, the more exotic the part is, the less likely they'll be to have it. And I'm pretty sure they do not have a turbo lying on the shelf

As to installing it... like I said, you'll probably end up with a shop that doesn't know the car, or has never performed that specific modification. So that means it's pretty much back to trial-and-error. Can't give you advice on the availability of said shops in Germany (since I'm not a resident there), but there's bound to be someone that can on the forums. Don't get your hopes up too much tho. The Mustang is a US car, and not an EU car, so anyone doing that kind of stuff is far and few between.

Leaves the question, if you're US side now... why not install the turbo's there before you move to Germany? That way you'll save yourself much of the shipping and know it'll be done by someone that atleast knows most of the engine and how it should be done. Just be sure not to tune it down to specific gas octane levels if you do decide to do that. Most common fuel here is 95-octane.

Can't compare them to any US based ones, but overall meetings stop during fall and winter. April usually the season starts, and it winds down in september. After that it's relativly quiet again.

As to number of meetings I'd call it decent. There could be more (not that I'd be prone to attend all of them, and overall the enthousiast rate is pretty high.

Check out this site for some info on german meetings and US car enthousiasm: dr-mustang : die us-car community › Nachrichten or just verify the appointments on uscartreffen.de :: Index. Not that the latter is complete.... I miss a few NL based meetings, but it should still give you somewhat of a guideline.

Well, we do have numerous shops over here selling pretty much everything you need for Maintenance on your vehicle plus of course bling parts

A turbo? Serious? Thats not really common is it? Most guys I know are after S/C ... but in the sixbanger? Sure there are kits available but afaik Turbos and Chargers can produce too much power for the rear end to handle ...

Whatever, if you need some hints on shops let me know.
