howdy, well ill get to the point. i am looking to turbocharge my 89 rs with the 2.8L motor. i am pretty sure i want to turbo it but i may change my mind and gfo with the supercharger. but so far everything i have seen has been for a v8. can i buy a turbo or supercharger for my v6?

 

Not yet....

in other words, there's no company that manufactures one...yet...Doward (the guy who just responded) has the first (as we know of) 2.8L turbocharged v6 f-body, he's currently making upgrades to run higher boost on a new engine. Coming soon, him and another member Vortex w/ their company Vortex Performance will be producing the kits for turbocharging the v6 thirdgens, but you'll justh ave to wait till their finished b4 you can pick up a kit. Another company named PF&E were talking of a turbo kit using their headers and making the exhaust to work w/ the setup, but nothings gone forward with their kit yet either, eventually though, i'm sure seeing turbo sixes running around here won't be all that far off.

 

Correction.. Doward *had* the first. Whereas mine is the only one that's been running boost for the past 3+ months

On the other hand, Doward will hand me my **** once his is complete again.

You can wait for the Vortex Performance kit, or you can fabricate your own setup.. but there is definitely no bolt-on method.

 

LOL, yeah - started working 60+ hrs/wk, so I got held up! I ran 6-8psi on the 2.8 for about a month, and then got bit for the need for more... so a 3.1 was rebuilt, upgraded, and now the 16g is ready to go back in. Oh yes.
