Have you ever considered installing NOS?

BTW: is your current turbo working and what are you planning to do with it afterwards?

There are many sites on here in peoples signatures that exclusively deal with this swap. The best and most reccomended is Stingers site. He has every detail laid out for almost anyone that can turn a wrench to take a donor 2.3T and swap it into a Mustang. There is also a sticky thread in here too that will give you a lot of answers that you may have questions for. Look through all of the post there and read each site to see what is best for your wallet. After reading all of that then chime into a thread and ask a question you may still have. Getting a 88 TC for the donor car will be the most available for this hope you like J/Y shopping too. Good Luck.
