Haha. When I'm a millionaire I'm going to look into it, a turbo'd KV6 would be epic to say the least.

Twin turbo would be better? (one on each side of the 'V'?)

Why not 6? One for each cylinder?

Now thats being silly...

If you went for just a single turbo then I suggest you could leave the manifolds as they are (or just modify one) and modify the next join in the exhaust...

go for two and you modify both manifolds and put one turbo on each manifold.... If that makes sence.

Of course you would need to look into forged pistons etc...

Huge amount of money for very little returns and still not proven imo.
Much better ways to go than a sc.

who knows....????
george told me at combe in his opinion it was 250 ish which is good but you dont get any torque with it, and nothing else is touched or modified to handle the power. Your paying all that wonga for a bolt on part and some mapping.
