If you have a 4cyl. Mustang can you add the turbo from a svo or is it more involved.

If you are going to run any kind of boost you should swap the pistons for some forged units, the stock pistons will self destruct. While you are at it you should consider opening up the combustion chambers a bit to drop the CR. You will also have to add an oil return line from the turbo to the block/oil pan.

It's move involved but the block can be machined for use on a turbo. Just get a turbo coupe motor.
