3.8 Liter Turbo Kits?

mustangmack416 · 07-02-2009

I have a 1996 Mustang with the 3.8 in it and was wondering if anybody knew where i could find a good turbo kit for cheap? And if anyone has had experience doing this please respond.

as everyone will tell you, there is no such thing as a good turbo kit for cheap. The cheapest way to do it is to fabricate one yourself. All you need is some welding experience, bent exhaust tubing, turbo, intercooler(not necissary), blow off valve, wastegate, and maybe a new header pipe if you can't modify your stock one for a turbo.

^^^That's what I was gonna say!

"Good" and "cheap" often do not go together... If you want hp, you will have to pay/work for it!!!

But I can direct you towards a good kit: TMA makes good turbo kits TMA TURBO

im sure with the amount of people asking for a good cheap turbo kit i could just pull mine off and sell it! then use that money to build a sweet kit myself, with a much bigger turbo

How much are ya asking for?

Will your dad sell his "cheap nitrous kit" too? You guys could start a business...

Which is better: twin turbos or one big one? (for drag racing)

For drag racing they say one big turbo is better. But even with my turbo 61mm, i really dont see alot of lag when driving on the street. Its all in how well the system is selected.
