Looking for a drop and Can a 4.0 be boosted?

[EVLSPL]

Hey everybody,
I have a good ole 2002 Mercury mountaineer with the 4.0 on 22"s. I am thinking on putting about a 3" drop on it to make it squat on the rims but I can't seem to find one. Also I am thinking on putting a rear mount t3/t4 hybrid on it. The reasoning for using the smaller turbo is so it can spool in an instant providing power to my horrible low end. Can a stock 4.0 handle 5-6 pounds of boost? has anybody attempted to boost a 4.0 on here?

Yes the 4.0 can and has been boosted. If you need help with the turbo just let me know.

Most definately the 4.0L can be boosted and live if tuned properly. Go to http://www.hensonperformance.com/Pictures1.html and check out my ride. Later-J

how much power did you gain?

I am interested in doing something similar to mine, however unless it is mandatory I would like to keep the turbo closer. I currently have a cai, jba headers and magnaflow exhaust. Do you have any dyno numbers also an estimate of the parts and labor for the turbo and install.

You can do a turbo closer to the engine. It is just that most people find it easier to remote mount it.
