forget about 5.0 im thinking about putting a 2.3L turbo the 5.0 engines are too heavy any ive seen many races on 5.0 and the mostly loose ive seen a 2.3L beating a 5.0L
my question is if do i could add a turbo kit on my 2.3L efl engine or do i have to swap a 2.3L turbo cogar engine

There isn't a turbo kit for these motors because the N/A internals aren't strong enough to handle the boost of the turbo (it's not as simple as slapping on a turbo and going). And I don't know what a ''cogar'' engine is but if you mean swap a 2.3 turbo engine from another Ford car, then yes, that's what you need to do.
