Turbo or supercharger???

Ok, does anyone have any idea if there is a turbocharger or a supercharger for the 2.5L 4-cyl?

I would like a v-8 but funding for that is out of the question.

Looking for the "cheapest" way to get more power for the little engine that thinks it can.

Cheapest would be supercharger.

Turbo would probably work best for your 4cyl.

Do a search on google.com for turbocharger systems.

Turbo....i would do a search, check on options for 2.3 also. Ford had some turbo 2.3s.....SVO Mustang(back in early 80s) and, i think, T-bird(mid or late eighties). I think with research you may be able to adapt to your 2.5....maybe?
Also, someone correct me if i'm wrong, a supercharger robs more power to operate than a turbo. The turbo would be more efficient for a small motor, superchargers are best for large engines.

A super works better from a V-6 and up. There should a few turbo kits out there.
