Hey Guys, Kinda new to the forum (joined a while back but never really posted). Just after some info, I have owned around 10 V8's now but have been itching to try something different lately and like the idea of a Turbo. Been reading through the forum and from what ive read are the BA's really not worth looking at? With all my cars Ive always tried to find the lowest kms possible but it seems even more so with the XR6's as higher kms models can need major maintenance? It sounds like these things need major looking after and dont seem as robust as a V8?

Cheers for the info mate. Yeah your right about my knowledge of Turbo's, pretty limited. Ive always been a Expensive Daewoo man and only ever had 5 litres and LS1's but ive always wanted to try something with Forced Induction and would prefer to go down the Turbo route than Supercharge. I would rather go for a BF, just need to factor in $5,000 for the Gas conversion and tuning and such, so will see how it goes. So in saying the 6 speed is a better option but if I picked up a BA 5 speed then I should be right, just depends on my driving?

Hey Guys, New to the forum and im looking at buying my first XR6 Turbo so just needed some info. Looking at a BA/BF in a manual. It will be used as a daily and my drive to work and back each day is 120kms in total, half highway half city. Ive been reading that the Turbo kicks in at 2,000rpm? So in saying that because I do alot of highway cruising will the 5 speed be ok or would the 6 speed be a better option? Dont really want the Turbo on constantly or else it will guzzle the fuel. Im going to be putting a Liquid Injection LPG system on it, anyone using this? Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Mark
