Question turbocharged???

ok so i have a 1990 F250 5.8l V8 and i am curently taking an auto tech class for college and we have just learned about turbochargers and superchargers... i was curious if it is worth the time and if it is a realistic idea to add either one to my truck????

What is your budget? Personally...I wouldn't waste my time putting a turbo or supercharger on a 21 year old engine. Your next project will be "rebuilding/replacing a 5.8l V8 engine." Just my $.02.

Maybe go down to the supercharger/turbo page and have a look there.
