Squires Turbo 4.0 (250-313 rwhp)
I did some searches and didnt see anything revelant. It might be a repost though. Anyways, they make 2 different turbos for the 4.0 and they make some awesome rwhp.
heres the link

most of their set up likes this are right around $5000...which is about right and not too shabby

I've done it all. Blower, nitrous, & turbos. Turbo is the way to go for a daily driver IMO. You get stock milage, don't have to worry about nitrous problems, and the power is awsome. Only down side is that it's very expensive. Can easily cost you more than replacing the motor.

Lotsa change to buy the boys some beer too!
Also worth noting.. power comes at a price. Pushing a *stock 4.0L* to nearly double it's stock power output is going to take a toll. If it lives.. it's life will not be too long. A built 4.0L motor or a V8 can make the same power and do it for years.
Gotta pay to play.
If you really want to make cheap power and have it last? ***Ramp up** nitrous to more than a 50shot.

I thought I was smart. Yeah.. I'll try a M90 supercharger.. Wound up giving it away for nothing to ScottyG or Gerry or someone.. Wasn't all I thought it would be. I tried a procharger PS1C.. Same results.. Still didn't have the 'umph' I wanted.. Juice? Yeah, all flavors and variations..
Having 2 less cylinders is like going to a stag party without your pair of ' boys ', your driving an impotent Eunuch.
Theres NO replacement for displacement, I wasted over 5 grand remembering such.

The stock bottom ends can take atleast 350 whp. Our Cologne engines have hypereutectic pistons (meh) but we do have forged rods. I used to have a 4.0 Mustang, the ideal turbo for the 4.0 is the Powerhouse turbo.

It's made up 450 whp on 4.0 Mustangs, with stock motors.

thats a rear mounted turbo setup..
IMO, to get it working and tuned for a 4.0 is a waste of time.
now if you wanted to do a motor swap with turbo, id look into a mustang/turbocoupe 2.3, or just a built v8. Its not worth it for a 4.0

I don't mean to be a hater, but these ' 6-packs ' aren't like that KEG of 302. They only go so far..
A slightly modified ( heads/cam/intake/exhaust/bolt-on whatever ) 302 will THUMP our 6-packs. I've tried, even on the happyness of laughing gas, its tough.
They start pulling and its over.
