Don't have to worry about the trans or anything like that. To get it installed, you'd probably want to go to a Performance Shop...no Midas or average joe garage is probably going to be able to do it for you. You can do it yourself, I don't recommend it personally unless you really know what your doing. It's not that difficult physically..bolt on the modified headers, bolt the turbos, run oil feed, yadda yadda yadda...all and all its not as crazy difficult as it seems, but your going to run into difficulties and even though your gonna get raped by paying someone to do it, it will be smarter to have it done somewhere in the long run. I havent checked out the sites above but I know that getting a set of headers fabricated and pipe bent is the biggest task unless there are kits for the V6. Your going to want to get a good tune, once again a credible high performance shop is where you'll want to go. I'm not sure where your located, but as an example here is a link to a place thats near me... http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/ this place does alot of mustang stuff, thats their specialty. You can contact them and tell them what you want to do and they can atleast ball park a cost for you, I'm sure not every performance shop will price the same..but like I said, just a rough estimate.

Good Luck, I've tossed the idea of doing a turbo set up on my 6er...I think its the only real justification someone can do to a V6 mustang and have brag rights...it may be true that there is no replacment for displacment, but I believe theres an exception for beltless boost
