I have some news for ya..... If you are gonna have someone build you a custom kit, by the time you get done with the kit, fuel system upgrades and tuning it will cost you the 4 grand you say is to much..... That is unless you can do the fabrication yourself and/or plan on using all half assed Chinese eBay shit parts..... I'm not just trying to piss in you wheaties, I'm just tellin it like it is.....

If you can weld you can do it, alot of the ford guys have built their own kits with "junk". Not saying you should go around to all the exhaust shops and take trash out the dumpster, but start looking for deals on a used bov, and a waste gate. A turbo like dr dirt has should be fine for what you want, flip over your headers and start cutting and welding. Maybe after your done you can send your hot side to get coated, run 8-10lbs and get a decent tune. Take you a little time, but save ya a bunch of money. I have a car in Springhill right now that you can look at, car had bbk shorty's that were used for the turbo kit and looks killer.

To be honest dont boost. Stay with N/A. If you drove an import and could think outside of the realm of carbs and ram airs then ok. But stick to what you domestic guys know best N/A let the imports give you a run for your money with half the engine!

Half the engine NA is half the HP. You guys could not compete NA vs NA.

You guys think a 302 is a large engine.

I'm willing to wager we have a larger percentage of FI cars within our ranks than you guys do.
Your pointless dribble still wont get you ROTM.

Stick to the point in this thread.... This is someone asking to turbo a V6.
If you turn it into an import vs domestic, you post will be deleted.
