Default RE: turbo question

are you going to bend up all the exhaust to make the kit work?

the mitsu turbos would probably be the easiest and cheapest to find, the 45 trim would be the best choice if you could find a pair. you could just turn your factory headers upside down and make templates for all the piping and have a muffler shop do all the bending and welding if its not in your ability. turbomustangs.com has a bunch of sites on there link page that has a bunch of companies for piping and turbo kits.

I think you need two driver side headers turned up side down to get it to work. I believe a good site to look at would be www.turbomustang.com

those turbos are kinda small for the 302s. look for a t3/t4 turbo you want larger trims.

Those turbos are way to small. Find something with a .60mm compressor with a .60 A/R & close to the same on the exhaust side. Like I said two turbochargers off of a Manual 85-86 2.3 Tbird are good, aswell as the Grand National turbochargers.

You should maybe rethink the project then. You can't just slap a couple of turbos on and call it good - you'll need to do something about increased fuel flow and a lot of tuning to keep from destroying your engine.

Yes, this will end up running you at least $1000 with used parts. It is not a $500 project.
