Re: NEED 3.1L V6 HELP!! WANT MORE POWER
look in the v6 section of the site its been covered many times before.
but i will tell u this, ur not going to buy a turbo kit, noone makes one.
u will have to pay somone to make it, or make it urself.
the closest thing u can get to a turbo kit is a turbo header from bbs which i belive is 300 bucks.
i made everything myself on mine.

Re: NEED 3.1L V6 HELP!! WANT MORE POWER
Ok i have found the turbo header, but is there anything else i can add to make it better...give it more power??
Re: NEED 3.1L V6 HELP!! WANT MORE POWER
you dont need that header anyway just route the y pipe up to the turbo and cap the end of it. if you want alot of power your gonna need a megasquirt and big injectors with a better fuel pump. If your just looking to gain a few more horses just run it around 9psi with larger injectors and higher octane gas to prevent detonation.
