    Awesome question... my plans are to one day buy an Exige 240S and add a turbo 5cyl.

    The I5 has a better sound and reliability, plus you can rev them more. And swapping turbos is nowhere near the effort.

    No brainer!

      I think the 5cyl will look/feel/sound right in that car. If it were an S4 i would say v6.

            He's asking between the two because he has both engines...

                Depends what your going to use the car for? both engines have different characteristics
                V6 is a superb unit delivering an awesome power band that the I5 cannot match
                The I5 has a retro feel to power delivery that gives a hell of a torque kick when on song.

                Depends for a weekender use the I5 for a car with more use use the V6

                reliability of the I5 is not better than the V6

                        Be honest now, how much fun is boost leak testing with two turbos you cant even see

                          I think the I5 will be better, and the sound of that engine.....
