Go the AU go the AU! You can make a turbo AU and if all goes well I can copy for my Futura 
Has to be cheap but

i dunnoz - if i went the AU id have to put the 17 inch tickford wheels on it - lower it - modify the exhaust - put in a better stereo - and upgrade the suspension for starters - TEHN id have to look at an XR front clip
see the dollars adding up ???
i want somethign that already has the poke and the handling to make it acceptable .. theres a hell of a lot of twisty roads here where ive moved to - id hate to waste them in a floating wagon

I would love to fit a turbo to my falcon! It would make a great towe/cruise mobile  I may have to speak to the guy that did that XE falcon again! He was very helpful when I spoke to him

theres actually a big write up in one of the ford magaziners about the 3 ways to improve a 4 litre 6 - superchrging , normally aspirated and turbo - its a good read
Interesting to see a good setup for an AU that wiould result in excellent gains and no loss of economy with the turbo costs about 5 grand though

Do you exactly remember what mag that write up was in! I'm in no shape to leave my yard so I would have to send my old man out shopping for me 
For 5k you would want to see some unbelivable gains
