A Turbo on a high compressions engines can be done WITH CAUTION. Low boost seems to be no problem, along with remapping the ECU.
If you have the knowledge.
I have my turbo on a 10.5-1 engine, but with less than 8 psi of boost.
It's all how you use it.

Agreed, my concern would be reliability. I know power can be addictive and I would feel better if there was a warranty. On a side note I have heard that Ford is having some issues with their new 4cyl Eco boost engine in the Mustang. Not sure what the issue is though.

The issue probably has to do with the fact that it's a Ford. :bolt:

Same engine, but one of these cars is a lemon and one of them can beat a Lamborghini off the line. It all depends on what you do to the motor :p
