Xr6govroom New Member 19 Member For: 11y 7m Gender: Male Posted 15/10/13 03:08 AM Share Posted 15/10/13 03:08 AM Hi guys Im new to this and ill get to the point I just recently purchased a FG xr6 non turbo and I have been thinking what if I could turbo my xr6 now what I need to know is can it be done and should I do it?I heard a complete engine rebuild may be necessary to help with the stress a turbo brings on a N/A engine and since most of the FG xr6t are well out of my price range with me being a single dad and not having the greatest job in the world also I am stuck in a 6year contract with this car, I would like to add a little performance to my FG xr6 and I just love how sexy an FG turbo looks.so I need to know should I do it and if so how much am I actually looking at? or should I just leave the xr6 as it is I do love how quick it is and how smooth it rides and how awesome it looks =Da more in depth my car is a 2009 FG xr6 N/A with the 5speed auto with 104k kms on it I don't drive it as much meaning I only drive it once a week to go pay the rent and then its garage trying to keep the Kms on it low I have a second car a EF falcon which is my daily drive from home to work and where ever im needed.any feed back would be nice than you.
