My plan is with a 3.5!
Im stuck between a turbo or a supercharger but Ive been quoted Ԛ£7k for a supercharger fitted!
I dont think I need 500bhp, 350 would be nice!

just make sure you get a turbo bigger than your wheels and you will be ok

If the swedes have anything to do with it, it should be good. But why is the flange at a strange angle, i've never seen that before??
