blacksheep Member 12 Member For: 16y 10m 18d Posted 04/05/09 06:06 AM Share Posted 04/05/09 06:06 AM Hey guys, I've got a BA MKII XR6 Turbo and I'm thinking about going a little crazy with it. I wonder if anyone has heard of a supercharged and turbo'd 6??? Can it be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the fitting of the supercharger hardware will be the easy bit, with hundreds of hours of tuning being my major issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to go digging too Have a look at some of the massive powered cars on here, it gets to the point that with a turbo swapover everything else starts breaking before you can use all the available power.What's your inspiration? To reduce the low-down lag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksheep Member 12 Member For: 16y 10m 18d Posted 04/05/09 06:38 AM Author Share Posted 04/05/09 06:38 AM Nah man not poor form at all, I thought it was hilarious!!! My inspiration is wanting something that no one else has got, or at least something that is very rare. I do understand how much power these cars can make with normal mods, but I dont wanna follow the leader... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if not, I just don't see why you would bother? Fair call on wanting to be different but surely there are other ways? Paint it baby sh1t brown…!It’s not - easy, cheap, practical, won't give you awesome power or increased drivability, won't even look much good IMO....What about twin turbo? That would be different and far better than a blower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksheep Member 12 Member For: 16y 10m 18d Posted 04/05/09 09:30 AM Author Share Posted 04/05/09 09:30 AM I didn't even think of the twin turbo route.... They'd p*ss along with a two stage set up wouldn't they. Anyone had any experience with twin turbos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
