Hello
Im new here obiviously lol.
But the reason i joined was because i want to build my own turbocharger and not have to shell out $3600 for a new one. My car is a 1999 v6 mustang. But im lookin to swap the engine out for a cobra NON-SVT motor and then turbo it. But if all else fails i might just build my own turbo for my v6 and be done with it.
So where do i start and what kind of research do i need to get started building a turbo? Also what kind of costs am i looking at to build a turbo charger?
Thanks guys

welcome to the forum!!!
you will need to change out the exhaust valves.i would also change out the pistons to lower compression and be safe,also you will need a fuel pump that flows more than the one you have,make sure you get a wideband to watch A/F ratio's too.then you need to add a drainback tube to the oil pan from the turbo.im sure im forgetting more but someone will chime in
