Turbo on a Mach 1?

[Harbinger]

I'm entertaining the thought of a single turbo setup in the future. Is it worth it ? Is it better to just do an eaton swap if I want more power in the future ? What is the community's thoughts?

IMO a Mach is a model day collectible so mods need to consider that. I.e. Never lose to shaker.

If it were mine, I think I'd build power the old fashion way and stay NA.

I like both power adders. I think it comes down to preference... And a nice set of lumpy cams too

Definitely a collectable but underpowered. I think ford left the mach 1 to be desired...front end should have had the cobra 99/01 or even the 03/04 cobra or something more unique. Should have had a super charger as an option or larger engine

I've followed a few at the track ....don't seem underpowered to me.

Didn't you buy this one in Auto because you wanted it to be a nice easy to use DD? Aftermarket Forced Induction on your DD is a recipe for trouble IMO.

But I want more power lol. How is it a recipe for disaster?

Turbos probably will have more issues then a blower (heat, controlling boost etc) autos will help keep the car in boost better with a turbo.
I say do it it's just a car.

Put on a blower with low boost and u shouldn't have a problem

Tuning/street manners/heat etc plus the power corrupts, you will always want one more PSI. Just not a great call for a car you want to behave like stock in traffic IMO. I mean it could work but you will be throwing money at it at first. Figure $4000 for a good quality kit, plus fuel system mods, then install (or DIY to save) then a good handheld and exceptional tune. Better part of $6500 to do it all to the T which is what you want for everyday use.

I'd do bolt on's and gears first. if that's still not enough then maybe see how it goes.
