alexlees Member 24 Member For: 16y 3m 9d Location: Sydney Posted 28/05/09 01:33 PM Share Posted 28/05/09 01:33 PM im considering turbocharging my n/a 4.0 BA Fairlane or possibly swapping engines with a turbo, does anyone have any advice or previous experiances they could share with me, how best to do it, how much could this cost, would it be easier to turbocharge the existing engine or buy a written off xr6t, or buy a xr6turbo at the auctions then sell it as an xr6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
