it is a 1988 and it is a 5.0 (not the h.o. mustang motor just the base 5.0)

Get another one of them 52/48 turbos and mount them on each side. You'll definately have enough boost then. Maybe too much.
Be careful not to blow anything up.
BTW- Don't think that turbo is big enough for that 5.0. Might be enough to mess around with at low rpms. Most likely run out of breath at higher rpms.
