Default Trubo Question

Ok I know this might be a stupid question, but I have no experience with Turbo or Superchargers, all i know about them is that a turbo uses your exaust gasses and it gives you more tourq than a supercharger. So I wanted to know if its possible to put a Turbo kit on my car 71 Mustang, if so, do any of you know any websites where i could look at some?

second one in a few days...

supercharger of turbocharger is going to run you about the same in cost
supercharger price/turbo & turbo tubing and fuel system is the same for each one.

take a look at my website and look at the custom turbo builds on a 66 fastback and a 67 coupe (mine) in the forums. any questions let me know by PMing me.

its was just a matter of time before people realized how much faster you can go with a turbo and how much more attention at a show you can get if you have one

Turbocharger. It has a turbine on one side that the exhaust gas goes through, causing it and the shaft it's connected to to spin, which turns a compressor blade on the other side, compressing air so the engine can get air at a higher than atmosphereic density. Makes more power, accomplishes the same thing as a supercharger, but turbos are much more efficienct
