turbo in a 92 mustang w/auto

[Supermex]

Hello guys. I've been reading a little about the turbos in the mustang. I have access to an 88 thunderbird turbo kit. I have a 92 mustang 2.3 vert and would like to put a turbo in it. I looked on a site where there was a guy didn't understand why an auto with a turbo. I rode in a turboed buick with an auto trans, can't seem to remember the model, but, it ran like a bat out of h***. Anyway, will it be alot of headaches to put a turbo on my 92 2.3?
Thanks in advance,
John T.

If you have an '88 Turbo Coupe donor car, you're golden. But, you'll have to explain to me what an '88 Thunderbird Turbo kit' is! Swapping an '88 TC motor, tranny and rearend into your Mustang is a relatively easy task. Bear in mind you can't just throw a turbo on your naturally aspirated Mustang motor and expect it to last more than a week! You need to use the turbo motor or rebuild yours and add forged/dished pistons, appropriate turbo head, etc. In addition, you don't want to use the Mustang automatic tranny behind a turbo motor as it'll last about as long as a naturally aspirated motor with a turbo thrown on it! Give us some clarification, be specific and we may be able to help you.

Sorry about that. I meant, I have access to the turbo and accessories from a thunderbird tc. I have a feeling I'm going to leave this project alone without a turbo. Sounds like I don't have the money to do what you have explained. Thanks for you trouble.
