Im looking at turboing my EF XR6 as well, anyone have any ideas as to how much a good clean installation would be, bearing in mind i want to have up to around 220 - 250 rwkws?

but why gas?? i dont like the idea of running my car on lpg for the sheer fact its not always good quality gas sometimes the octane of the gas is lower when gas was first introduced it was fine and lpg setups were tuned to that now days its harder to get the tuning right cause as i said you never know how good the gas your puttin in the tank will be and running higher compression you want to make sure you are getting good octane fuel so your engine doesnt ping off its nut

the main advantange of gas is the savings on not having to bother the computer and chip it.
Thats a saving of what can be a few thousand dollars. It's also cheaper per tank of fuel and works better in a motor that has a normal compression ratio due to it's higher average octane.

in all seriousness get onto performanceforums and talk to 6BOOST.

He's very knowledgeable, and has churned out a pretty nice turbo EA falcon... And very obliging to help people going towards the turbo idea.

He's suggested i scrap my V1 T-trim idea and go for the big single turbo lol. Keep in mind you need to supply fuel and spark to the engine to suit the extra air/fuel going in... so be wary of the unforseen costs.
