Boosted Performance single turbo build

Boosted Performance

Waste of money, and would not fit. These engines are not known for making gobs of torque down low, so boost at 2500rpm would just create strain on the engine and nothing else. A properly sized turbo will get you good spool, and awesome top end, where these engines are designed to make power.

This is not a V8 mustang with a roots blower (positive displacement supercharger) where it makes 400ft/tq at 1200rpm, with a 4800rpm red line.


The turbo will make your current exhaust quieter, as the turbine does act like a muffler. However, when WOT it may be louder due to the extra flow.



As far as all the other stuff...waste gate: either re-circulated or open to atmosphere...there is nothing else to it. Electric cut-outs are made for post turbo applications where the exhaust may be small/restrictive to exhaust flow. IMO not needed at all for the power a stock block can produce safely, with a dual 2.5" exhaust.
