Default New guy could use some insight

I've got a 2004 galant with the 3.8 v-6 just wondering if anybody has done some engine work. Im looking to do a cold-air, and wondered if anybody has slapped a turbo or supercharger on one. any help would be greatly appreciated

hey bro, i'm not extremely familiar w/ the galants but i can tell you that for a good start a cold air intake (AEM or INJEN i recomend to all) and a nice catback exhaust is a very good start. turbo'ing a non turbo'd car (especailly a V engine) is not cheap nor easy! to turbo a non turbo'd engine ( as long as you don't have to rebuild the bottom end ) you are lookin at between 3000-5000 depending on parts, name, tune etc. i'm going to leave the nitrous part of this question out b/c i'm not sure.... sorry but i hope this helps.

In the same pocket that the money for the single turbo is kept? lol... Once the groundwork (supporting mods)is (are)there it doesnt seem that it would be a lot more just to add another turbo... I could be wrong there... I just want to see a GalanTT.
