i wouldnt go above a 125 shot unless youre willing to risk it. And to op's question, yes, turbos can allow you to get better gas mileage because it is making your engine more efficient. But seriously, try to not use so much tuner talk on here. You dont remap your ECU or stuff like that. You simply get a tune. We need to make a sticky on the approved language of the mustang forums community. lol and make it a requirement that all newbs read it. no offense op cus i used to be just like you. just giving you a hard time.

IIRC the turbo makes the engine more efficient because it uses the exhaust gasses to help spool the turbo or something...but do you really think a turbo kit would only cost that much?

I can see that happening. On3 turbo kit, $1900, K-member $400, Fuel and accessories $350, MAF $100, 3 gauges and a gauge pod $500, and finally a tune, $500. Add that up and you get $3750. Then again thats with on3... Then look at changing the clamps so add that to the cost and your sub 4K for a complete turbo kit... but be prepared to pay this as a MINIMUM...

Correct. People have seen an increase in gas milage by using turbos. As for some of the supercharger guys have also claimed that they have seen an increase in MPG.

I left it out for two reasons... if the person can install it then we shouldn't have to factor that in to the price, and if the person cannot install it, then he probably have to install the supercharger too which will leave us in the same boat.
