I understand what your saying. I really want to turbo my ride once I gain the money. I considered the differences in turbo/sc for the stang, and I noticed the differences.

S/C kits can be puchased at decent prices, whereas a turbo can either be purchased as a very expensive kit, or bought as individual parts, which would include building custom parts.
