i know its pricey but apart from an exaust system, performance filter and remap, theres almost not much if anything less to do to this engine performace-wise
does anyone know of any companies who offer this or at least sell the conversion kits to make this happen?
thanks
Going turbo on the 3.2 is a relatively expensive and demanding process.
A more sensible approach is to stay naturally-aspirated, and go with camshafts / exhaust (not even necessarily headers and cats) / intake / and a proper remap. Keeping the standard cats and headers will cut costs significantly, while the other mods will combine to yield approx 290 bhp.
Such a package has almost no drawbacks: no loss of torque, no apparent engine modifications, no huge increase in fuel consumption, no aded heat or weight, no danger to the transmission and driveline, etc etc.
Such a package does offer a huge grin-factor, the redline being higher, the torque curve fatter, and the exhaust sound harder.
Add headers and cats for a small gain up top.
Talk to Ed at
www.autops.co.uk They will be able to set up a comprehensive package for you.

Then there's the dark side ;-) If you want 400+ hp it's there for the taking, all the way to 565 hp, but at a price. Beyond the cost of the turbo kit, you must also upgrade the chassis, brakes, and wheels/tires. You must also be willing and ready to increase maintenance costs with more frequent oil changes.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Ben.
