If you don't know what you need, you probably don't need to be trying to build your own turbo kit.

So pretty much you need about $6000 worth of junk still:
All the piping, intercooler, a much larger fuel system, install and a tune.

What have to done already? You might need more than that still.

Lets say 7,500$ because that junk ebay turbo won't hold up long.

We say stuff like that because you clearly need to go read up about turbo charging mustangs LONG before you just go out and buy a compressor unit. Take step #1, then take the rest.
