Question Looking for an AFFORDABLE turbo or S/C for 4.0???

I have a very limited budget and I am loking for a turbo or supercharger that is affordable for a 2006 4.0 V6. I am clueless on what is really out there as affordable options. There is NO way I can afford Pro-Charger or Vortec price level stuff. I am not interest in NOS for this car. Rather, i am wonderng if there is reliable and affordable good quality turbo or S/C kits out there that really work.

Although my wife works, I am a full time caregiver for my very sick mother and I worked up through the end of 2008. Then we moved in with her and I worked a side job up until the end of 2009. Now, her care requires 24/7 and I am not able to work. So, the Stang budget is very small now.

Any affordable ideas are weclome! THANKS in advance for sharing!

Not sure if this will help but this is what I found. I looked on ebay, and found some, but it doesn't say if they are for a 4.0 though.

turbo is the way to go! more performance and better gas mileage.

THANKS, Scooter!!!

2 spool? Cool! See what I know!!!

I'm not looking for major boost, as I whip all the little Hondas and Neon's around here with no problem. Not sure why guys think these are cool cars? But, would like something extra to give a little kick. And, since we show more than we go, a cool looking EXTRA blingy thingy is always welcome for the cars shows and stuff. I can always make a fake dyno sheet like the ricer boys do.

There are a couple of for sale threads over at www.mustangcollective.com for turbos and superchargers for the 4.0.

I have the Xcharger supercharger on my 4.0, really like it a lot and so far it has taken me to a 13.42 at the track. A friend has the Powerhouse turbo on his car and broke into the 11's this year. Turbo will give you the most power - Xcharger builds boost very quickly since it is a roots type positive displacement blower, but doesn't have the power at the top end like a turbo or one of the centri blowers (Vortech, procharger, etc).
