at the end of the day its still FWD though so adding a turbo that big is jusr retarded. Its not a bad looking car and has lots of goodies but the price is pretty steep for a tib they have gone up in price alot and at 19k or 20k I think I would not buy one but that is just me

^^^straight from the turbo to the throttle body? Not such a smart set up, it's pretty though.

its done that way quite often actually. the 3Gs have been doing it for years with the old xtech kits they run like 5-6 PSI un cooled

If you dont care about FWD then do it. But turboing it... as Mike said, not a good idea

I would'nt turbo the V6, just seems wrong to have an uncooled setup.
I would however, go with the NGM supercharger.
From what i've read its a really good kit. Makes 200whp on 3-5psi

drove it.
loved it.
so much better than I expected.
After I get back from my vacation to Florida, i'm buying one.
They'll give me $5,000 for my RS.

Very good mood I am in
