Anything that can be done to a 2.8L or 3.4L can be done to a 3.1

Re: HOW TO: INSTALLING A TURBO

With twins it will be easier to keep the turbos on the manifolds rather than have to send the hot side under the k member.

Mine had 89k when I did my first turbo kit. Just make sure you get plenty of fuel delivery, so you don't detonate like I did. I rebuilt the motor twice, and going with a standalone ECM this time (MegaSquirt). You can also tune the stock ECM with the right equipment.
