Default 4.0L help for the new guy

Hey guys, I'm new to this site but I was wondering if someone could please help me out. I have a 2006 4.0 stang with cold air and dynomax exhaust. I am looking for cheap hp and was wondering what you would suggest. I was looking into a JET chip possibly. I was looking on ebay and found a turbo for cheap and was curious as to if it would work with my car and how big of a job it would be. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2125428&rd=1,1 I don't know much about them or anything so some help for the new guy would be sweet. Thanks.

JET chips are a waste of $$. Snake oil I'd go with a hand-held tuner from Bamachips or Brenspeed.

Cheap eBay turbos are WORTHLESS!
That seems about $100 too low for a good T3...I'd avoid them and whatever ssautochrome's eBay name is now. They WILL break and junk your engine.


No offense, but if you have to ask what to do to install your own turbo, you probably can't do it. You'd have to be a good mechanic and/or an experienced fabricator to even start in on it. Hell, I could do pretty much everything but my welding skills arent up to it so I'd be hesitant.

There is a turbo kit people on here have used, it will make your V6 FASSST. About $2k but it gets you 400hp IIRC.
