Default Twin Turbo Question

Hello I am new to this thread and I have some questions. This winter my dad and I are planning pulling the engine out of my 1989 Ford Mustang 5.0. I am really considering a twin turbo kit for it but I don't know what I would have to do. Its a stock motor 302 with an automatic with a shift kit in the transmission, and 4.10 gears in the read end. Would I have to change anything to the motor to run the Turbos or could we just install it straight on with no changes to the motor? Any help would be appraciated ! THANKS!!!

Actually since he brought up the TT question.

Where can i find one for a 95 gt? I havn't had any luck on the TT, i can find single all day. I've been reading the posts about the gears and what not, do they make that big of a difference? I know prolly a dumb question, but i'm still learning. bare with me plz

You can also go single turbo and with the right sized turbo for your application still have excellent boost response at low rpm. Why get 2 turbos when you only need 1, just an fyi. And yeah, gears with a rapidly spooling turbo(s) = no traction

gears make a big difference with a turbo. you dont want a super low gear like you would if you motor was n/a. 3.72-3.73 are good turbo gears. the turbo wont make boost if the motor isnt under load and if you get too low of a gear, the motor wont be under as much load which means slower spool speed
