The word on the street is 8-10 psi on a stock motor, that sound right?
10 psi on supercharger is fine, but with a turbo, you may be close to the breaking point with 8 psi. You would just have to tune it and see where your at.

Also, many are saying the turbo will work. Yes it CAN be used, but it really is nowhere near optimal for his set up. I would spend the extra $500-600 dollars and get a better turbo like a Master Power T70.

A turbo install will need:

turbo
intercooler
wastegate
BOV
oil feed lines
turbo manifolds (unless you want to reverse regular ones or just run extra piping)
fuel pump
injectors
MAF
spark plugs
boost gaugeand any other gauges you want(fuel pressure & a/f)
piping for hot and cold side
dyno tune

These are most of the necessaries, but a lot of other miscellaneous things will pop up. You can build a set up and get it tued for around $2000, but it won't be that great. Things like a k-member will make pipe running easier and give you more ground clearance, which is important for a turbo street mustang.

there's a ton of misc. stuff you're forgetting about. with that turbo being internal wastegate (correct me if im wrong) you'll need a boost controller, tuning software(SCT,Diablo,etc), MAF 4' filter adaptor, Air filter, tubular k member, a arms and coilover kit for running the downpipe. also possibly oil filter relocation depending on how you run the exhaust. im not against it by any means, i dont regret mine one bit. but those are just some little things that i ran into.

if your going to do this... i would look at a few different ways people have done this and decide the way you want it... ive seen remote mounted turbos (where the mufflers go), turbo infront of the engine, and in the bumper... it all depends on what you want and that will decide on the cost as well. look at pics of the hellion turbo kit which may help you decide.

We have all the required Turbo stuff, turbo, intercooler, wastegate assembly and actuator.... When you say MAF do you mean that the stock MAF can’t handle being mounted to the high pressure side for a vent to atmo BOV, or is the stock MAF just not capable of handling the increased flow on the low pressure side?

Look into getting a 90mm Lightning MAF. I believe the stock one pegs out rather low in the HP range (350-400). I've seen people run the Lightning MAF in blow-thru setup without much problems, but that all depends on your fabbing abilities and the tune. Oh yeah, and put the BOV before the MAF so the incoming air that is released to the atmosphere is not registered by the MAF... but I think you probably already know that.
