Be a REAL MAN. Put a GT Turbo on by Garrett. I am installing a 3788R on my 4.6L 06 Supercrew. Still gathering the parts, but the turbo has been sized and purchased already. Should have installed by years end.

to bad superchargers are power now, you are gonna make a mistake by putin a turbo on your truck. you should just get a roush charger or whipple makes a good one or even if you want to dump some money for some real power go with a kenne bell super charger.

i believe this is a good debate.. i think that only someone who has had both can tell you which is best, but i would love to hear the pros and cons of each, anyone up for informing me? people can give opinions as to which is better, but facts are facts

Hellion makes a kit for the 4.6 and 5.4 Mutangs. Other than the pipe routing I don't see why they wouldn't work.

For the record, I would go with a low boost SC. Turbos put out a buttload of heat. What kills a truck engine/tranny faster than anything? Heat.

Just my opinion.
