...No real education, like sit-down-and-wite-some-paper-eduaction. My education came from playing with stuff, asking lots of questions, and having plenty of friends that trusted me with their cars. My turbo knowledge comes from Grand National/T-types and Syclone/Typhoon. I have always been in love with a V6, automatic, turbocharged car. I hope to have that same thing soon with my lowly GL!
Kris, I would never wish failure on anyone modifying a car, especially a Contour. I can tell you, the easiest part will be mounting the turbo and getting the pipes fitted. Your conventional T3 or T4 will encounter oil problems in the location you are wanting to mount it. Check out this article for some neat info on putting a turbocharger on a 2.5L Ford V6:
