Question Turbo

I have a 99 F-150 4X4 with a 5.4L and it's a work truck. I pull around a bobcat all the time. I was wondering if a turbo kit was available? Does anybody know where to get one?

Check with Banks. I know that they have them for Power Strokes, they may have something for your truck as well.

It doesn't even tell you how much power to expect from it. Don't they even dyno test their stuff?

That's one of the only turbos that I could find.
Sorry its just that they are hard to find on Yahoo.
But 4K is about as much money as quality Supercharger.

yeah, they say on average you gain about 50% more hp. So if you have say 300, you would gain about 150 so you would have about 450hp. That's a big jump!!

What price were you expecting?

Looks like a decent kit. And seeing as how hard it is to find....
