I have been researching into mods for it and haven't come up with much so far I was going to supercharge it but the cost of supercharging is far too expensive I can get a 12k supercharger and get just 300rwkw I have been told but for that same price I can have a pretty fast turbo with the same or more power. just after some advice on places that would do this conversion for me and what I would need to be looking for parts wize to get this done money is'nt a problem as im willing to spend upwards of 10k on this and before neone says why did'nt you just buy a turbo I was under licence restrictions at the time of purchase and now im free to mod it any held would be greatly appreciated cheers James.

Now your probably going to have to change diff and gearbox too which will add to the cost.Sorry mate but I still struggle to understand why people do this, one of the reasons I sold mine was because it wasn't going to be a good base car for good power but at least it was a turbo to start with.Good luck either way.

Only things you won't be able to move across is exhaust if its done.Sell the XR6 and buy a Turbo, no one could get attached to an n/a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
