Default Turbo kits or Supercharger kits?

Does anybody know of a good turbo kit or supercharger kit (prefer turbo) for a v6 3.8 mustang. And where it can be bought at.

Turbos are very expensive and require a lot of work to make them fit.

I'd go with an ATI SC unit. You can remove it without much trouble, you don't have to punch a line in the oil pan, and it comes with an intercooler, so it makes more power per dollar than any of the rest.

If I did a turbo, I'd adapt a remote STS turbo for the GT for a number of reasons -work involved in installation, more room under the hood, less heat under the hood, and better weight distribution.

Squires Turbo Systems - Mustang Installation Pics

You'd need to use a 4.2L crank or block to get the displacement close to 4.6L

But look at the installation pics. The turbos end up behind the rear wheel in the rear 1/4 panel.

You would have to use a dual exhaust system to work.

Will the 05+ twin turbo kit actually fit with some modifications or was that just an example?

you'd need to run the Universal version. The 05 version is too long.

They will fit, you can see a pre-05 GT with the system on one of the installation pics.
