Default Turbo...

I am thinking of instead of getting a gt i would just turbo my six...

is this a nice t3/t4 turbo kit? of course it has no piping or intercooler but that can be bought

Well with the amount of flak I catch for having a V6 Mustang, I would personally just get a GT once I can afford it..and swap what aftermarket parts I can from the six to the GT.

ALright I mean yea you can piece one together I just hope you know how to fab and weld. This isn't exactly a super easy mod here. Oh and I wouldn't go with that turbo if I were you.

If you have a welder or know a good one fabbing one is much cheaper.

just go for a GT ull like it a lot more,

1.) nicer then a v6

2.) your exhaust will sound a lot better more rumble and such..

3.) + its a Mustang GT V8 FTW!!

turbo the six! SAI's car (the flamed turbo/nitrous sixxer) is running better than ever, it's even for sale.

He put down 402/500 with a 35 shot. Still gets awesome gas mileage and insurance is still low.

Lets recap v6tech rules shall we?

NO V6 bashing. He didnt ask about getting a GT he asked about turbo kits for v6's. Keep the v6 bashing crap off of here. We had enough of that garbage months ago.

Basically putting a turbo on a v6 will be cheaper then buying a GT . . and to tell you the truth if you've ever felt turbo power, its a hell of a lot funner then NA spray or a S/C car. Driving in a turbocharged car with 300hp is funner then driving a 400hp S/C car IMHO

Its just freaking fun the way the power comes on.

its freaking AWSOME.

If you go turbo you wont regret it.
