Talking ready to turbo!

Hello all! I am ready for a new project and i want to go with a turbo. I am new to this concept and would like some advice. I have done minor research and want others advice. What brand turbo kit? What do i need to do to the motor, drivetrain, etc for it to be able to handle the mod and extra power? I have no problem investing money into this but what are good prices? Who Should i order from? My specs are 2002 3.8 v6. Im not expecting to drag major hp and torque out of my stang but would like the extra kick. Thanks to all who can help!

I would consider beefing up the rear end as well.

8inch rear ,13" brake conversion go faster need to stop sooner, idk about the comp ratio but with forced induction you want a engine with low comp since adding boost

The ford t-lock may or may not hold for you, their relibality is very questionable, If you get a Eaton trac lock differential then you will have no worries.

The T-Lok is strong on a 8.8 rear isn't? I thought only the 7.5's had weak T-Loks.

A t-lock is still a t-lock, i wouldn't trust them weather it's a 28 spline or 31 spline. It's not a "performance part".
