long tube headers advise/exhaust help please

Funds will go real quick if you get in to forced induction.

You'll either spend the money up front and build it right the first time or spend it later after the motor scatters. The internals of the motor (cam, crank, rods, pistons), transmission, fuel system, cooling system, fuel controls/swap to blow through carb, exhaust, etc would all need to be addressed.

True but if I boost it, it would only be small Audi turbo with 5/6psi just for little extra fun. Stock fuel/ignition management can handle it but with all my other plans for truck, I doubt it. Would be cool but not practical for trucks future buyer(s).

Future buyers won't like rusty headers and a hacked together Audi turbo on a F150...

true but vehicles I fix like this one to sell don't get the "john fuller" hack jobs. you guys forget that is just my personal toys and fun jeeps I build. This will will be similar to that F250 i sold but even better, cleaner and meaner. If I do go turbo (not looking promising right now unless I start working 13hr days lol) it will be done just as "pro" with any turbo I choose to put on. Turbo installs don't have to cost thousands of dollars to be done neat and right!!
and those aren't rusty headers either, they're dirty from sitting since I bought them since I don't have a shop been out in the back like a dummy...all will look new when done!

I buy and sell a couple vehicles throughout the years. Stock always brings me more return than any add ons.

very true but mostly depends on the customer attraction I'm seeking and in this case, more than likely some rich high school kid will jump all over this truck like the last one did on that F250 i fixed up...them youngns love these old trucks beefed up lol!
 
A turbo that small would likely be a choking point in the exhaust.

The stock fuel injection setup isn't boost referenced either, so it wouldn't know to add more fuel to compensate for any amount of boost. Tuning would be an issue.

probably good relative points....well, we can leave that bandwagon alone as pretty likely not gonna happen. fun idea to think about and sketch around but I know me and IF i went turbo, I'd put way too much time and money into it than I could ever get back out of it so will probably save that for more personal future project
