nbtopstars XR6 Member 47 Member For: 19y 8d Location: Melbourne, Mexico Posted 15/02/06 11:33 AM Share Posted 15/02/06 11:33 AM I pick up my BF XR6 Friday, and am thinking of turnng it into a turbo. I know I need to upgrade the brakes, and more.... Any ideas who to go to in Melbourne??Also, I couldn't get the new 6sp auto as I needed the $2K cashback, so I'm stuck with the updated 4sp....Any help is appreciated.Thanks,NB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youve clearly got the dough and would have ended up with a 4spd turbo.Nice purchase anyway dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XR6T BA MkII is a definite considering the price you may pay for an ex-demo or ultra-low kms package.. well that's one thing I considered and the car's going to be much more better engineered in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a much better and cheaper option. You can spend $1000's on the NA and it still won't be as fast as a stock Turbo.Good luck with it!

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

bangm001 Member 307 Member For: 19y 2m 17d Posted 15/02/06 10:58 PM Share Posted 15/02/06 10:58 PM If its too late, supercharge the N/A XR. CAPA have some nice kits you may well be interested in, still.. for about 6K, I would have gone the stock turbo and had warrenty but each to their own!
