Answer 1

Honestly...I'm surprised at the answers you are getting. EEK!

I know there is no supercharger out there...so most likely you will have to get one custom fabricated and that is going to cost a lot.

When going with any type of force induction system...you cannot expect to add one onto your vehicle at a reasonable price. There are going to be many expenses like fabricating a manifold...to adding extra fuel and tuning in order to make everything work well without blowing your engine.

It's true that going with a turbo might be the most cost efficient way to go. However you still are looking to spend around $2000 or more to make the system work on your application.

You can find a small turbo off a junk car for around $300-$700. Then you have to custom make a manifold off of the headers which can cost around $300-$500. You might want an intercooler and that will cost around $200-$600. All the piping from the intercooler to the TB will cost around $100-$300. And then you need to make sure you have proper fuel...which should cost around $300-$500 for a fuel pump and fuel injectors or and FMU. Then you will want ECU programmed so that the air/fuel...and timing curves are correct and that should run around $300-$800. Those are usually the basic items for a turbo system. Then you might also want to add a wastegate…boost controller…and then a turbo timer. As you can see…this is going to cost a lot don’t matter how you look at it.

Try going to your local auto salvage yards. You can find turbos off Nissan 280 and 300 turbos plus Ford turbos. that the salvage yards if you shop around.
Any good muffler shop can make the flanges to adopt it to your exhaust system.

Turbocharging is going to give your intake system a positive chamber pressure instead of a negative chamber pressure. Your intake system is going to be pressurized. The means your are not going to get any vacuum.

So you are also going to have to install a vacuum pump for your car's vacuum system as well. When you turbo charge your engine. Otherwise things like your heater and air conditioner will not work. (none of the vents will open) there is also the minor problem of your brakes being vacuum boosted as well..
They can also be bought at your local auto salvage yard.

I'm not sure where you live but here in Orange County we have a junk yard called All Ford. I've gotten lots of parts there for my Lincoln. They sell them for less and work just as good.
