I could easily see a 8cyl kit going for $6k and easy $8k if it were twins, there's twic as many parts and twice as much work. A nice quality 4 cyl kit can easlily get up in the $4-5k range. Top quality parts aren't cheap especially when you start using SS and alum. Gotta remember i gotta get paid for my time to.But for right now we're looking for mass production kits. I'll do some research into the 4.6 stuff and think about it.
Alright. The only drawback is that 4.6 internals are the weakest thing known to mankind. We blow pistons through blocks like no tomorrow when any boost is added to our cars it seems like (without forging). This right here is the main reason I even ask for you to do this...this custom turbo setup looks pretty sweet for only 1800-2000$ and all DIY.

Well i can see how he only spent $2k because no offense or anything but that looks gross.

haha yeah it's not the prettiest thing thats for sure. Either way, the fact that it's possible to make turbo kits for 2000 is a good sign. 1000-2000 markup on that and you'd compete with every supercharger kit available as well as blow any turbo competition out as well. I know a lot of people (mustang-wise)aren't too picky about how decent the kit looks so long as it gives them boost/power. Sure we don't want a totally ghetto looking setup either (which that is fairly but still...gotta give him props for doing it) but people like me will take what we can get on our limited budgets.

Yeah, $4000 would be pushing it on the ~cheap~ side of a decent SN95 turbo setup. Fabricating decent exhaust manifolds is challenge #1 (which that guy didn't do obviously) as there isn't an abundant amount of room in there (which translates into higher costs).
As for 4.6L internals holding up.. it's all in the tuning. (I've got a buddy who put down over 300/400 IIRC with a M90 on top of a stock rotating assembly)

that is a really ghetto setup...i would just go with all new stuff....dustin if your gonna get a turbo kit you might as well go all out and pay the 8k or whatever it was

that does look like ass...

Once the snow melts and I can ride my rocket again... you can use my car if you want. Focus guys dont have to many options available, and the ones they do are either $6000-$7000 for a decent kit, and $3000-$4000 for a kit that has lots of problems.
I know we dont have shit for options as far as manifolds go.... from what I have found log style manifolds are all that are made for the fuckus. Unless of course you go custom.
And im not about to pay $1000 for a fucking log manifold for my car. Fucking ford....

That turbo setup in the stang has got to be the worst ghetto-fied excuse for a turbo system I've ever seen. I won't even think about turboing anything unless I have the $$ to do it right. I see no reason in bastardizing my car just to save a few bucks. I would just as soon be slow than to sport something like that. Just my .02.

^^^^^
all so so true. if not buying a kit at least piece something to gether with quality parts.once you or someone you know f's something up from doing stupid things like that you well probably never do it again learn from others mistakes. also look at this mad ground clearance around here all your work down the drain

We have talked about it before but ill be ready in the next month with the srt if you dont have one to play with already,turbo setup,I/C, injectors,external w/g, fuel system up grade shoot me a price, i want the most power without rebuilding anyting yet 400-450 hp

Like i remember anything from August.And Mitch when did it become 8k?
thought it came to between 7 and 8k with manifolds, fmic, piping, wastegate, dump, downpipe,turbo, and modified intake mani?
