Default Turbo Charge V6 Mustang?

So I was just looking around and having some crazy ideas of what to do with my mustang. I decided to look at turbo chargers for the fun of it and was wondering how possible it is to turbo charge a V6 mustang. What all would I need to install to make the turbo charger work without blowing my engine? I'm not saying I am going to turbo charge my car anytime soon or even at all, I'm just curious of what would need to be done to make it all work. Thanks.

I am also planning on turbo charging my car... although i went the full and safest route and went on ssm's website and had them basically redo the whole engine and upgraded to a 4.3 that can handle the 550-700 hp that a turbo will make... As far as the actual turbo kit goes, everyone that I talked to said to go with TMA Turbo... Right now I am just doing the finishing touches on the car and it has basically every upgrade you can have on these cars.. The only thing left to get is the turbo which I put aside for now.. Probably will do htat next summer.. For now just going to enjoy what I have...

Search button. But its completely doable. Look at tmaturbo.com I don't remember if they are still selling kits or not though. You can push 300wrhp safely without blowing your engine.

yeah and after you get used to the power because you don't want to be upside down in a ditch then build the engine with a 4.3 kit and up to boost and get a tune again.
