    it looks really clean but thats a pretty steep price for a turbo 3.8 they have been around forever you should be able to find a kit for like 1,500 bucks pretty easy for that motor... id still look around

        me and The guy that onws that car on Turbov6 have talked through his hole setup. he used to ask me stuff allt he time and i would ask him stuff. he just got it done not to long ago. and finally ran it at the track recently.
        he stilld ont know my secrets.
        its got a pretty rad setup. and i will say its pretty damn fast.

                  o i thought he was talkin about the second one
                  still u cant get a good v8 for that much.

                  Yea i didt mean i was talkin about buying it from them just the powerdyne system in general, RK is OVVVER PRICED with most things

                    not that i look up V6 stuff often....but Tim (has the W68 'bird like ang's) i was talkin to him one time on AIM and he sent me some links to some sites with some sweet turbo kits for V6's...all were in the $2,000 range...very inexpensive compared to just about any V8 turbo kit! anything i find i'm lookin at $4,000 atleast...and that's just for the basic kit...no fuel system upgrades...that's really cool though! i would definatly look into turbo kits! that would be kick a$$!!!

                      well its really tough being its a 4th gen and you guys have no room for anything under the hood... but i would say even a universal 3800 turbo kit... they make alot that are universal to work on grand nash/regal GS and a few other cars pretty cheep pretty much gives you the header then an ajustable pipe that you weld header where you can fit the turbo under your hood... i wounder if maybe the old TTA from the 3rd gens might clear under a 4th gen hood? probably not but its the same basic setup i would look into that... i can get a twin turbo kit for my v-8 for cheeper than that single turbo kit...

                          Yeah I say if your gonna go FI on your 6 then go turbo. Powerdyne kits are known to sucks ass so I'd vere away from them for sure no matter what.

                            forcefedfabrications.com has teh turbo kits for our cars. About 3k for it new and they are in the process of making a new kit with forward sweeping headers for our cars.

                            The powerdyne supercharger kits are really slick and a lot of people run them on their 3.8l fbody cars. Kind of limited to 6-12 psi though with the belt slipping any higher than that. Usually can find these kits for around 2k.

                            The mach performance procharger kit that is intercooled is really expensive but I would imagine it is a sweet setup, only a few guys running it though.
