V6 or turbo

[astragsidude]

ok my next stage id the engine so i need help with me decision.

do i go turbo or v6?

do i get a bolt on turbo as my red top is strong and sound?

if v6 then what has the less agro the 2.5 or 3.0?

what changes do i need to take into consideration and whats more cost efficient.

lots of questions i just dont know

For money and reliability v6 all day long.

You cant just bolt a turbo onto a normal redtop there is a hell of a lot of work to do so its easier and cheaper to buy a LET 2.0 16v (turbo) than turbo your redtop. But the LET is a very an expensive engine to buy.
