you might want to try ebay, theres always listings for 5.0 turbo kits that come with or W/O turbos, even some twin turbo kits. I wish i had a 5.0. O well

Why not just do it yourself? The hardest part on making these kits is fabricating the headers. Lucky for us there are some good aftermarket n/a headers that will work great for turbo exhaust manifolds. After you get a pair of those, it's just super easy welding & cutting. A muffler shop could even help you out. As for the cool air piping, you can get prebent pipes & use some rubber pipe connectors from home depot. Does your turbo have an integral wastegate or external? You could probably get this thing going for around $350 (not counting the header price). I'd be glad to help you if you have any type of messenger. Fabricating, installing turbo kits is a VERY easy process, it's just time consuming. Your work is cut in half if you can get the headers already done. It took me a week to make one turbo header. You will need some tools though. Definetly a drill, saw(hacksaw will work if you are patient), & some kind of welder. You can make a complete exhaust out of one really long straight pipe if you don't mind cutting & rewelding.
