ORIGINAL: 1999SVTCTT
a cheaper way i would suggest is buy the parts seperet and get a muffler shop to weld the turbos in place
and the rest of the pipes
only thing you wold probly need is headers intercooler turbos (ofcorse) and oil lines
o and intake
id suggest bolt on turbos with internal wastegate
much cheaper and saves the problems for buying external wastegates and headers for the wastegate
would still cost you about 2 3k
found a nice turbo kit on ebay for about 6,000$
but comes with everything you cuold dream of
includes fuel injectors and fuel pump

You sound like you're not looking to spend alot of money... look into N.A mods... also sometimes Turbos provide problems for v-8s usually on the #1 or #8 cylinder like they said mantiance is gonna suck.

RE: Turbocharging '97 Cobra
Turbocharging is the most expensive forced induction method, but it will also make the most power. Depends on what you're looking for, though. Cost is directly proportional to the cube of your 1/4 mile trap speed.
I'm in the process of building my 97 Cobra and topping it with HPP's stage 2 twin turbo set up. It's very expensive, but almost everything needs to be replaced to be able to handle the power this thing will be capable of producing: the entire suspension, rear end, transmission, fuel system, and engine. When complete, the total cost will be about $40,000. I've spent about $22,000 so far on parts alone, and am just waiting for MMR to finish putting the engine together and for HPP to ship the turbo system.
I'm not sure what this excessive maintenance is for turbos that a couple people have mentioned. I previously owned a Cartech turbocharged 89 LX 5.0 and never did anything to it but change the oil religiously every 3,000 miles. That and replace the rear tires every few months. I personally have had more problems with nitrous and superchargers (owned both a Paxton and a Vortech) than with turbos. Turbos are just time consuming to install because of all the plumbing.
