Default 2001 V6 Mustang Project

Hello everyone. Just bought my 3rd Mustang, a 2001 v6, that I am going to start on soon. I have finally decided on a turbo charged setup after much debate. I had originally planned a V8 swap, but I am thinking it would be fun to kick some butt with the 3.8 since everyone thinks they are slow. Little do they know. It will take some time as funds are limited, but should be worth it. Anyone out there with turbo experience on these motors feel free to post websites or advice to help out.

You have the setup, because you don't have IMRC's to deal with like the '01+'s. My motor is not plug and play like yours is. I have to take my lower intake out and remove the IMRC's, then put it back together before I bolt on the SC. Oh yeah, while I'm in there, I may as well P&P the intakes. Oh heck I already have it apart, why not do the heads too. Well, I have the heads off, I may as well take the motor out and redo the bottom end. See? All of a sudden I'm rebuilding my motor just by turning that first bolt on the intake. I know it will happen.....
