Default Mustang plan

so ever since i got my mustang i have been more into upgrading it then my previous car. so i was wondering is there a good website on where i can get like a rebuild kit or an engine kit like 4.2 or something. but i have some questions on the kits. does it come with everything u need. and where would i find a turbo kit for a 2000 mustang. it plan on doing this for a couple of years b/c i have a son on the way. but any advice on what i should do would be nice. thks


Current mods are
bbk cai
bbk headers
True dual exhaust
Stage 1 clutch kit
steel flywheel

TMA kits work well on stock 3.8L cars. Andy does a great job and offers a very complete kit.
