Default Turbo kit

In a turbo kit for our 3.7L V6 mustangs? There is a local turbo shop here who is interested in making affordable turbo kits for our community. He uses all American parts! For turbos he likes to use comp. Thats as much detail as I know. If there is enough interest, he will use my car as a mock car and then sell it as a kit to the rest of us. I would of course make a thread with pictures showing the progress of it. However, there are two problems. The first is the lack of tuning base here in Houston which makes me a little afraid to do it now. Second, If he does not feel confident enough that there are enough people in our 3.7L community who would buy the kit, he will not make it. So I am asking you guys.. are you interested?

If this goes through he will become a vendor here and start selling the kit when available. Let me know what you think.

Making the kit is actually the easy part. It's the tuning thats tricky

Thats why I am waiting until there is full support. The turbo kit would have been made last night and sold today if the tuning was 100% there.

Also keep in mind that with the high compression ratio these motors have it will need to be an intercooled system. I would also guess that these engines probably won't handle more than 10psi on stock internals, however with a decent size turbo, efficient intercooler, and meth injection I think 10psi could equate to an extra 125-175hp.

On another Forum someone mentioned that the 3.7 had forged internals already. Is this info true??
