Turbo the b6 run a decently sized turbo and spend some money on a good engine management setup.
do you know even roughly how much power your pushing with a turbo'd b6?
Never had it dynoed. Would hate to guess, with the car gutted and fooling around one night i made a 1/4 mile pass and trapped between 115-117, no traction probably a low 13 sec slip, but will never know...
It made the car fun to drive, sometimes a handful if you mashed it and the wheels werent straight :D

yea i dont think i need to do a full swap... i am gonna rebuild at least my top end... im pretty sure one of my valve guides is screwed anyways... i wouldnt wanna slap a turbo onto a motor that wont handle it... but if i could have my car hitting 13 second quarter mile times i'd be happy!

before i went with the turbo i have now i contemplated a t3 super 60.
I had a ihi vj14/17 hybrid before and loved how it spooled and the power it made, if i wanted a really fast spooling street turbo that made good power i would go with either the super 60 or the hybrid, with the hybrid you can bolt on the stock b6t parts. Or with a super 60 you could by my b6 manifold :D
