[adr3naline fix]

Ok, I ventured into the world of Nitrous, then found out each 10 lbs bottle is about 50 to refil and since I would probably be pressing the button and going full throttle more than I check my mirrors I decided to look into turbo's/

What exactly does it take (parts) to install a turbo and keep the car in great shape?


A quick list would be GREAT!


I have a 1995 V6 mustang by the way. (explains why I want more power. LOL) I need to keep the car because my parents bought it for me and that is a LOT on their part. Thats why I dont just go for a cobra.

What should I expect out of my gas mileage after install a turbo.

Really bad changes (5 to 10+ mpg) or just 1 to 3 mpg?

thanks

your fuel mileage,will increase,(only slightly) since the turbo will re-use(most) the fuel not burnt the first time through.

Uh, not true. The turbo does not recycle exhaust into the intake, so fuel passed by is fuel passed by.

In reality, the turbo will have little effect on your MPG, depending on use and tune.

Keep in mind, at full throttle you will be cramming more air, and more fuel, so you will use more than before. If you are never into the boost you will never notice a MPG difference.

I think you are in line expecting a drop of 1-3 MPG overall. I say this based on several friend putting turbos into their vehicles.

Edit: Your "quick list" = Custom Tune, Turbo Manifolds, Turbo Exhaust, the Turbo(s), Intercooler, $$
