New 95 pushrod 5.0 v8 owner looking for advice on turbo set up

[revhead347]

The turbo is a lot of hassle. It's just a circle of supporting mods, and a lot of fixing problems. Living in Scotland is the biggest problem. I have no idea what parts are available there, and I have no idea what the MOT requirements on that car are like. There are lots of Brits on my Ford Focus groups, and the things they deal with are totally different from what I deal with. My general recommendation for an N/A engine is to just get the Trick Flow top end kit. No idea if that's available there.

Well, just one clarifying point. 400 rwhp is very hard to do in an N/A 5.0. 400 crank HP (340rwhp) is more reasonable. 300 rwhp is cookie cutter.

With turbos, though expensive and technically challenging, 500 rwhp is cookie cutter.

400 ish crank with arround 340 at the wheels is perfect for first overhaul
