Default Should I turbocharge?

Hey guys, wanted your thoughts on bothering to heavily mod my 2002 automatic 3.8 v6 mustang. I am only as 17 as of now, I just graduated so despite how much I want a v8 - I probably couldn't afford insurance on it and this car is already mine. I am not planning on street racing necessarily, but if I were to say turbocharge this car, how impressive would it be - even if it is automatic and even if it is v6? Any good places to look around for this kind of thing - only been to one turbo site and I don't think they had anything for regular mustangs - just gt's and cobras. Well thanks in advance for any input. -Ben

Proturbokits.com has a kit for our car. People will tell you don't go with them because the demo car is dead and you will kill your car. I talked to the guy that had the demo car and he said that he got rid of the car because it was having problems.... Because of the agreement me had with ProTurboKits he could only tell me to get forged internals. I also heard that he decided to run more boost then you are suppose to run on a stock engine. The results can be very impressive but I would make sure that you either prep your engine to handle the power or make sure you don't go over 9 psi. As for being an Auto. you won't have as much fun but get yourself a shift kit and you'll do fine. I am looking to maybe get the proturbokit next summer or a kit offered somewhere else.
