    its harder to spend b/c its all in 1 chunk, but buy a pre-made kit from a manufacturer... there are several of them for f-body's, so i'm sure someone makes one for a mustang.... Even STS systems are increasingly popular and very effective

    Research, then do some more research. Have a goal and stick to it. Don't over build. Don't buy a turbo that you will grow into when you do more mods. Buy a turbo thats just enough to get the power you want. If you stick to your plan, then you will stick to your budget. If you try to overbuild everything the supporting mods will add up quickly.
