Could I Build Myself A Turbo Kit???
if i were to go to the wrecker, & pick up some turbos, could i build a turbo kit ???
is there a web site that shows how to do such shenanigans? if i were to do this, what material would i need??? im asking because that 3995 incon kit is looking a little pricey, & i could probably build this for about 1k canadian. thanks ------------------ 1988 Mustang GT, T-5 3.08's, No Smog Pump (Shorty Belt), Dumps At The End Of Stock H-Pipe, K&N Air Filter (Stock Air Box), Removed Air SilencerMy Stang My Site (Not Done Yet) |

If I went to the autowrecker, picked up a ford turbodesil turbo, and brought it home, what all would i need to fabricate an intercooler, & the tubing so that it would actually work? How long would it take, & what boost could I expect from the turbo?

Hi,
Here's a 5-part article on how to do a custom Turbo setup on a 5.0L. http://www.sn95.com/projects/turbo/part1.htm I'm currently working towards a turbo setup as well on my 89 5.0L LX. So far, my first mod is the C&L 73mm MAF which I purchased for $80US off someone who posted in the MustangWorks classifieds. Very happy with deal here. Im still learning the internals of my engine and things so it won't be a year or two before I have something worth showing. Bye! ------------------ Gautam N.
