DragonWarrior Member 2 Member For: 16y 6m 3d Posted 31/10/08 02:03 PM Share Posted 31/10/08 02:03 PM Hi guys,I'm new to this forum so I just want to start off by saying, "Hi" and hopefully you will be able to help me with my questions Recently I bought a 2003 BA Ford Falcon XR6 and am wondering if it's possible to convert it to the turbo or XR6T so to speak? Is it as simple as just bolting on the turbo (including parts to do with the turbo) to the XR6 engine or is the engine in the XR6T completely different to the N/A XR6 engine? Also if the conversion is possible would it be difficult to do and also do you think it would be expensive? If the conversion is possible what other parts would I need to make it all run?Anyway guys, I hope you can help me with my questions?P.S. if your wondering why I didn't just buy a XR6T, it's because of 2 reasons. The first being they are more expensive and the second being I am on P plates and can't drive a turbo till I'm off them which is when I would plan to get this conversion done if it's feasible.
