get a 3.0 before you even get a turbo. i mean if you got the $ to do it, why not get the best then right? the new turbo kit IIRC is goin to be in the 3 grand price range. you save up 6 g's you could get a 3 liter for what 3 grand with tranny and lsd. there is your 6 grand. now i want 6 grand. that sounds like a good plan to me. just my 2 cents.

Why? For numbers matching?

Once you go from a 2.5L to the 3L you will wondered how you ever got along with the 2.5L. When I get my new SVT that 2.5L is not staying in there for long.

+1 not to mention the 01+ escape motors can handle boosting relativly easily.
