Anyone know where to get a single turbo kit for the GT.. is it even possible. I searched the web some and came up with nothing.

I'm looking to add some power.. just not supercharger or twin turbo kinda stuff. I just want something to mess around with.. not to mention the blow off would be fun to mess with other people with.


Lemme know what you guys know.

Why is it that you dont want a supercharger? If you want a turbo for the BOV, you are getting it for the wrong reason IMO. I think there are a few turbo kits out there for the 4.6, but I'm not sure who makes them. A turbo will make more power because they are more thermally efficient, but a supercharger is far more simple and easy to install.

When I can afford it, I want to get a 03/04 cobra and swap to a twin turbo setup myself. Would be expensive, but I want something unique with alot of potential.

Nah.. I want the power it would add.. I just dont want to sped 5 g's on a supercharger.

I dont need a 400 hp car necessarily.. either.


Just a small gain would suit me well, with a small budget.

Small budget and Turbo just dont belong in the same sentence at all, unless you are building a kit from used/scrap parts. A quality turbo kit should cost more than just about any street supercharger kit.

If you just want a nice gain on a small budget, maybe nitrous would be the best route.

So you prefer to spend 6 to 8 g's on a turbo kit ?

There's a reason why you hardly see anyone with a turbocharged stang. They simply cost MORE than a supercharger. Don't expect to pay no less than 6.5K for one. Not to mention, the install is a lot more complex than a blower.

I know a SN member that had a Vortech on his 1999 Mustang GT then switched to a single turbo. He blew the engine and then went forged. He told me there is nothing like the turbo and the power starts at a much lower rpm than the centrifical S/C.

If you have the $, go turbo. OR...maybe look into a Kenny Bell setup. Make sure your block can handle what you want the power adder to supply before you start.
