Saw thison another forum...thought you'd like it. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2147225
Yea, that guy said Ford had a limited production of Turboed 4.9's.....sounds like BS to me but maybe it's possible.
In my honest opinion,turbos are nice and all,but they're like bolting a wing on a car,it may seem cool,but it's not.It's just a bolt on performance enhancer.I'd rather rebuild the engine for horsepower the right way.
I've got no desire for forced induction on my own rigs, but there's nothing not "right" about turbocharging an engine as long as it's got internals that can handle it.
But I do kinda get where Shaun is coming from because I feel the same way about NOS...I feel like it's a 'cheap' modification....you want 800hp...build your engine for 800hp...don't build for 550 and then throw a 250 shot of giggle juice in there.
No, you have it all wrong, you build it for 800hp THEN you throw the 250 shot on it.you want 800hp...build your engine for 800hp...don't build for 550 and then throw a 250 shot of giggle juice in there.

I have no problems with turbos, they are pretty neat. I have seen some pretty wicked turbo 4.9s.
