If I were you I would swap out the whole engine for another turbo engine. (80's mustang SVO and T-bird turbo coupe has them) It may take alittle bit of work, but it's much cheaper. A new turbocharger kit alone can easily cost $2500-4000. Throw in $90-100 each for forged pistons. Or, youcould get a new turbo motor for under $1000. Talk to sleeper, he's in the process of a turboswap.

Its better to get a turbocoupe engine (dime a dozen if you look) and you wont have to put more than $500 if you find an engine in good shape and for the right price (also helps if you have the trans lol)

But if you really want to turbo your N/A (you wont be happy with it for long) look in the tech articals for a post explaining how to turbo a 2.3 N/A

if you don't have the money for a 5.0 then you probably don't have the money to boost your stock 2.3 and blow it up a week later.

Buy a wrecked or cheap turbo couple, you can also get the 8.8 rear with discs
