Marky Mark Member 3 Member For: 16y 4m 8d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 21/12/08 12:18 PM Share Posted 21/12/08 12:18 PM I'm a XR6 Turbo admirer however not that great with mechanical details - I used to own an XR6 Turbo a few years back and was forced to sell however I miss it heaps and looking to get another one soon - my question: is it difficult/expensive to convert a standard XR6 to a Turbo and is there any major differences between them apart from the addition of a turbocharger?
