That sounds pretty accurate when it comes to a turbo for a Mustang. He could possibly go supercharger for a little bit less just from the abundance of parts available to supercharge a stang, but itd still be probably at least 1500.

the abundance of parts is for the 5.0 or the 4.6L mustangs I dont think there is a lot for the 6 cyl mustangs.

I said buy a cheap used turbo... one that maybe needs rebuilding.

Regardless a turbo alone isn't going to do this v6 much. Don't forget he has a one wheel wonder as well until he puts a t-loc in his rear end. So thats another 200-500 depending on his mechanical skills. In the end tho no matter which side your on its still a losing battle. Think about it, trying to build a budget turbo on a daily driver without having money set aside to go with a forge motor in case you pop your stock one is just not a vise investment at all

Theres a decent supply of v6 parts that can be found as well, just not as many as for the 5.0 and 4.6
