Sick with the 3.0l and check out Tearstone, for the money you would spend on trying to get that to work would probably double the cost of a nice turbo kit for that car.....just a thought.

I see alot of number/letter combinations around here and I have no idea what they mean. I looked up 6G72 and found out it was an engine. Is there a way to find out exactly what type of engine I have? I'm sure it's just a plain 3.0L 24v but I still get confused when people use the acronyms around here hehe. For example, what is a 420, or maybe it was a 240. I can't really remember atm.

i think your saying a 420a which is the stock engine in the 2nd gen GS and RS models. And your engine is a 6G72 like emonz was saying. and don't be afraid to ask for more. On forums we get so tired of typing alot we really shorten everything with acronims. So i know it could get confusing

1G non-turbo 1.8l = 4G37
1G non-turbo 2.0l = 4G63
1G turbo 2.0l = 4G63t
2G non-turbo 2.0l (excluding the 97-99 GS spyders) = 420a
2G 97-99 GS Spyders 2.4l = 4G64
2G turbo 2.0l = 4G63t
3G 4cyl = 4G64
3G V6 = 6G72
4G 4cyl = 4G69
4G V6 = 6G75
cliff notes...
1G = 89-94
2G = 95-99
3G = 00-05
4G = 06+

Does the 3G have a stock turbo version?

IF you want info about Turboing your 3G talk with Russ (Tearstone) he is on here every day or two and he is the man when it comes to 3Gs and turbos
