search for it, there is a sticky too I believe. It will take some time to do because you have to part and piece it together, but there are guys out there that have done it and have had great luck

I did it (with the help of kerns). I went over a bit tho. I paid exaclty 2170 bucks for a intercooled S/C kit. Including injectors, tial bov, accufab 75mm TB/plenum and a powerpipe. It can be done my man. I pieced mine together while deployed to Afghanastain.

I'm a little confused...
If you have a 03/04 Cobra, why bother dumping a bunch of money into a GT to make it faster??? I would invest the money in mods for the Cobra, not the GT.

If you must, just gears, lowering springs/shocks, and a STS are the only upgrades I would make for a decent DD car.

I think he decided to go that route. He just didnt want his GT to feel like a snail when switching from the termi....which tbh, I can kinda understand. I would sink my money into the Termi first......then get stupid crazy with the gt when I ran outta stuff to do to the termi, were that even possible!

Forward that over here too! I'm hoping it'll be under $2k as I already have the 75mm TB/Plenum. That include your tune?

Here you go gents. Kerns talked me into doing this and I am ohhhhhhh so glad he did. Anymore questions pls let me know. Below you will see the cost and where I bought everthing from. I'm gonna post this again on the 4.6 section for all the new members to see. Good luck!

Didn't quite reach the $1500.00 Supercharger build but I think I did pretty good. Could have even been cheaper if I hadn't bought the Power Pipe, Tial Bov and went with smaller injectors. Any questions guys let me know..
