Sorry about this reply,

Sell the V6 and buy an ABY Coupe - Job done !

No help I know, but it is the second option?

Good luck either way.

Kind regards.

I hope it is a quattro or you will be in trouble. Turbos and FWD just do not work as the sudden power surge usually creates massive torque steer. Most people reckon 200BHP is the max for a FWD car, particularly one with such old suspension.

If it is 4WD, why not stick with the engine that you have and bolt on a supercharger? It has been done a few times and there is lots of info on the web.

im getting the car for free so im just gonna take it apart and play with it, what bhp are the 2.8's as standard? im looking at doing a turbo conversion if not what can i do to the 2.8 engine for more bhp?

Rip it out, put a 30v 2.8 V6 in and pop a PES supercharger on >>> Link

what bhp are the 2.8's as standard?

174BHP with a lovely smooth delivery. They rev well, will pull 106MPH in 3rd and top out over 160MPH on the GPS

if not what can i do to the 2.8 engine for more bhp?

Not a lot. You will be doing damn well if you get it near 200BHP (or will need to spend over £1K)

Free flowing air intake and exhaust will nudge you towards 180BHP.
A remap will add 18BHP max (after the flow work) but will cost £250-£500 so is pricey for what it gives you.

If the car is free, run it stock and enjoy it as the car that it is. It was build for highspeed cruising and will do that all day
