This list is going off of the idea that you want to keep your block and add turbo components to it:

Pistons: Diamond Racing Pistons. http://www.diamondracing.net/
Call them and the guy will tell you exactly what pistons you need. Tell him your boosting it and how much HP you are trying to get. Eg. 200-400 RWHP
He can also tell you what Rings and Bearings to get.

Exhaust manifold: I have one for sale if you need, but you can also get a high performance "Log" or a custom "Tubular" header.
For the Log header design: http://www.40bob.com

For the Tube header: Email buckwht@ebtech.net and He'll supply pics and everything.

Turbo: Ebay ~50 bucks to 150 bucks

Vortech Super FMU: Ebay

Head gasket: Felpro 1035

Exhaust gasket: NitroSeal

You can put it on your motor, but you're going to have to upgrade your pistons and have it bored fresh.
You'll be limited in HP due to your small injectors, but that could be compensated for with a chip + larger injectors.

You'll need the FMU still.

Not many people do.

We pretty much are here to bring this "easy" technology into the mainstream.
A few years ago, hardly anybody knew about or produced products for the turbo 2.3.
Now the market is exploding.

Well, put it this way.

I have a beautiful 1990 5.0 Supercharged LX mustang that runs 11.90's, which I have put over 20 Thousand dollars into.

Then, I have a Junkyard built, project car that I have put about 2500 dollars into that runs Low 12.s with mostly stock parts. (read the first page of my site).

Do you want to look good? or do you wana haul butt?

I've followed Mike's project its pretty cool and some of that 2500.00 was on stuff like a 93' dash and some pony wheels to look better. I would say he proubly did it closer to 2000.00

You can't beat that plus it may get better mpg more than a 5.0 'stang

Thanks for the heads up on the turboford.org site also Mike svor
