Been searching around a little and from what i understand what are no turbo kits for any of the v6's except the probe v6 .... so what about manifolds? and will the probe manifold fit any of the other v6s?

so does that mean there is a manifold available for the 1.8L? the mx3 i'm picking up has a 2.5 but my friend out west here has the 1.8 that she wants to turbo but i wasn't sure if a manifold was available

I haven't yet seen a turbo manifold for our car..you jhave to get collectors merging into one and then mount a flange and the turbo..you just can't mount the turbo on the manifold...remember we have a v6? If you mount a turbo only on one side of the engine then it's causing backpressure only on 3 cylinders and it's only those 3 cylinders that feeding the turbo = lag...on a 4 cyl. yeah it's a good idea even the best but not on v6 engines

oh.. ok... never had any experience with a v6 before... this is my first.. i'm very used to dealing with I4's ... so is pretty much every to do a turbo for the 1.8 v6 custom?

if your question was if it's only the puping that's custom than yes and that's the biggest part too.
