V6 Setup Ideas
Okay so I've made a couple posts in other sections but this one gets straight to my point. In my mind I want a turbo v6 and a manual transmission. As far as the turbo v6 goes the only option seems to be the turbo Buick motors. These however don't work well with a manual tranny apparently. What can I do for a setup? Plz help!!! Any ideas are appreciated!

Re: V6 Setup Ideas
Tough love time. Why are you hanging on so tightly to the V6?
By the time you build it to be "blower ready" and add a $2000 turbo setup, you could buy a 400 hp crate V8. Which is more horsepower than the 2.8 V6 will ever make for the same money.

Only because of the gas mileage and the fact that I figured a v6 would be easier to swap into a car that already has a v6.
