Its a automatic with the 2.5L V6, Ive been looking and have found stuff but Im not sure what I should start out with, I dont want to ruin the gas millage to bad. I would like to turbo or even supercharge it but the only ones I can find are electronic. Any advice would be aperciated.

The automatic transmission is really whats holding you back. The supercharger or turbo kit made for the Cougar wont fit on your car due to the automatic transmissions size. Not to mention, it wouldnt handle the power at all.
Vortech did make a supercharger kit for the Cougar. Its since has been discontinued due to reliability issues. They still float around on the cougar/contour classifieds on www.contour.org and www.newcougar.com <---Real Enthusiasts websites.
Arizona Dyno Chip is the only company that makes a turbo kit. Its the kit im running. Extremely high quality and comes with everything you need. Its $5500-6000 depending on which kit you want. Their website is www.arizonadynochip.com.
