ha, the vr6 needs a turbo. To slow otherwise.

May be a useless addon for most. Guy's will run it at under 9 psi.
Why bother?

It's not hard to build a turbo kit really, for
any car. Just need the time and cash to do it.

But yea VR6 needs it to be worthy

the biggest concern wouldny be fitment, but it would be an issue of how much boost the stock NA internals will handle...

but the problem is that if you run too much boost without changing the internals, it will tear up the motor very quickly.

The new motors that are built today are very strong. Most internals
that are done are to add to the horsepower, not safety it up.
Eventually though, if you put enough coal to it, you'll bend a rod,
push it through the block or destroy your pistons. In a VR6,
a T3/T4 hybrid...running 10psi is plenty (intercooled) as a daily driver.
Anything more is useless on the street.

I work for a company that deals strictly in turbo's and builds,
designs and installs custom turbo kits. I've seen a lot of things
happen with turbo. Usually, if not always, the transmission will
go before you destroy anything in the block.
