supercharger vs. turbo
 
Is there a turbo and/or intercooler made for mustangs (2000). Besides bieng cheaper what are the advantiges of a turbo charger.

The differebce between a supercharger and a turbo pretty much are:
Turbos are powered by exhaust from your car.
Superchargers use pulleys that require power from your engine to suck in air.
Turbos usually dont kick in until you reach a certain RPM because the exhaust has to build up before the turbo can use the air to force into the intake.
Superchargers give you power right off the bat since the engine is what powers it.
Therefore Superchargers equal more low end power and Turbos equal more top end power.

Almost any intercooler should work as long as it fits:confused:

more questions
 
Do they make turbos for new mustangs (I have a 2000 v6). I'v looked but could never find it.

Your most likely going to have to have a custom turbo made. I dont know how much that costs but www.TurboTechnologyInc.com specializes in turbos for ford cars. They make custom applications.
