Selecting the right size turbo
Mi familia,
I would like some help in sizing a turbo for my Mustang. I know it's not a Miata but this is where my peeps are!
Anyways, I want to do a single rear mount setup. My plan is to come out of the headers at the factory resonator location, ditch that and go into a single 2.5" tube to under trunk area. Then do the turbo magic there, and 2.5" charge pipe back to the front of the car. I am not looking for insane power, honestly just something to bump me up 100-150 whp. I just don't know how to size it, what would work best with it being a rear mounted setup.
Plz help

What size engine? How much power do you make stock? I know nothing about Mustangs, but those first 2 questions are things we probably need to know. A turbo that works for a V6 probably is not sized correctly to work for a V8.

lots of people using comp oil-less on s550s, as I'm sure you've seen. Would probably be a lot easier to set up.
why not do a front mount setup? with a smaller frame turbo and good shielding it wouldn't be hard
I admire your constant pursuit of DIY. I just took the easy route and got a procharger for mine 3 hour install time, you can literally bolt on 200whp in an afternoon.

Plus I have a killer idea for my exhaust once it leaves the turbo
