i am looking to just go n/a because i dont want to mess with the turbo right now because of reliability. what kind of HP is obtainable going n/a and spending around 3 grand. and how much of a difference in 1/4mile time with an auto compared to a manual. thanks a lot.

 

3 grand is more than enough for a good reliable turbo. A turbo car can be just as reliable as an n/a one.

You're gonna need a lot more than 3 grand to hang with a Mustang GT and it wont be under warranty any more.

 

wheres a good place to get a turbo now, i havent been around here much lately and last time i was here speed factor wasnt reliable anymore, so where is a good place to look? thanks

 

Alpine has a good one, but it needs a few upgrades if you want to go really fast. I'd recommend this if you're a car noob and dont want to do any work.

The best way to go is build one yourself. You can do 90% of it yourself. The intercooler piping is the only thing that you need customized.

 

if i get a turbo i will not be installing it, it will be installed by a shop because i have no idea what i am doing. so i will just have to check around and see what i can do. but can you give an idea of what i would need get around 220 hp if i go n/a if that is even possible i am not for sure. thanks a lot

 

it will take ALOT to get 220hp and most of it you wouldnt be able to do yourself (high compression pistons, stronger different stroke rods etc...)

 

^^^Ummm, no. Several people have had 220whp with STOCK internals. There are a few that have gotten 250-280whp and still climbing.

 

280hp on stock internals with NA? ive never seen anything that high

 

Dude, you posted way too late. We've moved on to turbo. lol
