how much it cost to do that you reckon?
In all honesty I doubt it costs that much relative to the cost of the car, if you are prepared to do all the fabrication work yourself costs would be low, you can pick up a pair of GT35R's for around 2 and a half k from the states and most decent standalone ecu's such as the Omex 710 system will be suitable for up to 12 cylinder engines anyway, or do what a lot of people do and use 2 cheaper ecu's with MAP input, one ecu per bank. basically treating the v8 engine as two four cylinder engines, so you can use even cheaper ecu's that can only manage 4 cylinders max.
I'm willing to bet that the original ecu has enough scope to manage a turbo charger setup anyway, as it already must have an input for manifold pressure to manage a supercharger setup, whether its map sensor can cope with 25+ psi and whether the guys can find the software to remap the ford ecu is another matter
Dont forget those ford v8's are cheap to tune, so much off the shelf stuff available for beefing up the bottom end if needed!
