So I just bought this turbo kit for a REALLY good price, problem is it is made for a 5.0 mustang. I need to know if there is any this can work for my car and I need a complete list of everything I will need to do so. If it won't work I can just re-sell it for a good profit, so please help me out guys!

not trying to flame on you but isn't that a question you would ask before you would buy a turbo kit??

You can use some of the parts from that kit,
others you will have to make.

You guys don't know how good of a deal I got, I can turn around and sell this thing for at least twice as much but if it will work I'll go that route. I am picking up the kit tomorrow, so I don't know what all is included.

The Turbo(s) will work.
The main part that aint gonna work is the headers. The biggest pain in the a$$ IMHO.
The plumbing may or may not fit we have more empty engine bay space so you may be ok there.
Depending on the year 5.0 it's for, the MAF may work, I dunno if there are turbo kits for speed density setups but that won't be interchangeable.
If it comes with a chip that won't work.
If it comes with injectors you'll have extras.
Intercooler if applicable should work (plumbing may have to be fabbed)
wastegate will work.
I'm sure i forgot a ton of stuff, but hey it's 3am.

If it is an Incon kit you may be able to sell it for a good profit.

I read that they have very slow to fill their recent orders on 5.0 kits.

Since a lot of the parts won't fit your car that may be the best bang for the buck.

Then start buying turbos and intercoolers off ebay.

Ok, just picked up the turbo and here's the low-down:
It is not a kit, it is a single turbo from a company called warner. I haven't heard of them, but I only paid $50 for the turbo and it is still in the original package and never used. It states that it is a universal turbo and has an adjustable wastegate. It has no plumbing so a lot of fabricating will be needed, but I expected so. My biggest concern right now is blueprinting a new exhaust setup, I will have to run a Y pipe and attach the turbo after both sides meet. I may just run single exhaust after that, duals won't make much difference except for appearance. I am going to scan pics of the turbocharger and of the blueprints, anyone with turbo knowledge will be able to help me greatly and I will be very thankful. I want to make this work and have friends that are machinists and welders. This is going to be one hell of a project and I will document and take pictures for a how-to that I will be more than happy to share with V6 Power. Thanks in advance for all of your support.

Contact justin www.velocitymustangperformance.com (http://www.velocitymustangperformance.com) if you want it intercooled, he sells a sweet IC for a lot less than other company's want.

He also has some turbo acessories for sale too. clamps, and vacuum check valves.

Sell the kit for double+ like you said you could. Then just fabricate a custom kit. You're going to have to anyhow because everything is going to need to be rerouted.
