if you really want to turbocharge your stang you gotta sit down and figure out wat you want to do how your gunna do it and how much you have to spend. i have about 4500 into my turbo kit i put together and fabricated myself that including fuel sytem and everything else there is really no cheap way to do it unless you do a junkyard build but read up on it before you do anything and dont buy china turbos i heard they suck. its like with anything in life you get wat you pay for. if you want to do a single on a stock 5.0 i would go with a turbonetics 62-1 tey run about 845 which is pretty cheap for a good turbo
I agree that a name brand turbo(and wastegate, BOV, ect..) would be best.... but you can probably do a single turbo setup using cheap knockoffs for half the price.
To the orignal question though. That will most likely work, see if you can find a compressor graph for it, post it up and I'll tell you for sure. I might even be able to give you a rough estimate of when you'll see full boost too.
That could work. Some single fox body kits come with a Masterpower T70. The B&G kit does I think. You would have to get all the info on that particular turbo to be sure of its effectiveness.
ok i anit trying to be mean or any thing call me old shcool but what ever happen to supercharders and gobbs of nos . i have had to pro charger set ups in my past mustang loved it . i had the chance to drive a twin turbo mustang to me it has to much turbo lag on itbesides don't you realy need to beef the rear and the rest of the drive train for a turbo

Turbos are becoming more and more mainstream due to quality pre made kits being out there, like Hellion and B&G. You don't need to wait 3 years and do it all yourself to have a turbo car. Properly done turbo setups can be at full boost by 3500 rpms and carry all the way to redline. The turbo car you drove could have felt like lag for many reasons like poor turbo match for the car, too big of an a/r housing, restrictions somewhere in the system, etc. When you drive a properly done turbo car you will never look back. Not to mention you don't need steep gears which helps on gas mileage and you aren't running a belt off the motor to spool it up either.
um ok it makes a lil sense to me now . what would be a beginners turbo size wise lets say it is a 331 trick flow heads , stage 2 trick flow cam , efi spyder intake 36 pound injecters , 3.73 in the rear where would that put me low or mid 11's
You need bigger injectors and lower gears .... for a turbo 331 I would use 60's minumum with 3:55 gears to load the turbo better . You might want to use a boss or dart block ... A stock block won't last long with a turbo and 331 cubes .
For that motor on a stock block I'd go w/ a T60-T67 max and run low boost. I think most of the fox single kits come w/ a T60-T70 depending on who you buy it from. You would need a better fuel system for sure. 60's would be good and wouldn't run out either if you wanted more power.
3.31 gears are becoming pretty popular w/ turbo owners. 3.73 is way too steep for a turbo car thats for sure. You may want a different cam too. I don't konw the specs on the TF stage 2 so it may not be optimal. I remember years ago a lot of guys ran a stock cam w/ good results. It could be a good setup when you are done and the fox single kits are comparable when compared to a blower kit in most cases. You would have some low end power to get the turbo going then the turbo would hit and you would be off.
