While many will want the 5.0l V-8 for the classic sound the direct injection turbo V-6 will be lighter and take much better to tuning. I’m betting you could get an easy 50-60hp (maybe as much as 90 if BMW’s 3.0l TT6 is any indication) just from an ECU flash on the ecoboost 6.
Not when the Mustang is already Rice-bait. Throw a Factory turbo and all of the sudden.. "Great..another Flyby. I hope their parents have good coverage because someone is going to get effed up"

That's all I'm saying. If the car is already something Rice will try to hassle, throwing a turbo on is like throwing gas into a fire.
