Hey guys, so I'm considering to purchase a FG Ford Falcon XR6 here in the Fiji Islands. It's one of very few and I'm trying to strike a good deal on it. I'ts the NA Barra, and from what I've heard even the NA ones are fairly strong plus there are a few converted examples on the internet. My question is, how good of an idea is it turbocharge the NA motor. I do understand the work that goes into it. But my issue is power and reliability. Here in Fiji we only have one grade of fuel and that's 95octane, and I know of a few XR6 Turbos that run fine here but they're all factory XR6 Turbos. I understand that the NA engine has a higher compression ratio with different pistons, Will I still be able to make XR6 Turbo levels of power (or more) safely with it's current compression ratio? And does anyone have any tips or real world experiences they could share with me? Thanks

Hey guys first time posting been researching into an XR6 turbo conversion for about 6 months or so and I've decided to go ahead with the project but have run into some issues/questions that need addressing before I mindlessly slap sh*t on an N/A motor expecting everything to be rainbows and roses. Currently I've bought - FG F6 intake manifold - Fuel rail - FPR - F6 Injectors - Throttle body - Map sensor - GT3576 - Intercooler and all piping including cross over and throttle body pipe I still need a fg exhaust manifold and dump pipe but is there anything else I need to get ? I'm quite certain I'm missing some parts that I've seemed to skip over. what I'd also like to know is there are some vacuum lines on the intake manifold I'm not sure about. I do know one of the hoses is connected to the brake booster but I don't know what the other 2 vacuum lines are for. One being next to the brake booster vacuum line and the other being on the opposite side of where the map sensor is. If anyone could at least help me with one of these questions that would be awesome. Cheers
