I prefer turbocharging the 3.2 as did Juan mainly for the reason that I don't like the CIS injection used by the 3.3turbo. Even the 94 3.6 turbo was CIS. Marc, I assume your engine is a 3.3. If it is, it has 320hp (the 3.6 has 355hp) and that is about 100 more than the 3.2. If you run the 3.2 with the same amount of boost as the stock 3.3 you will have about 400hp. The drivability is also better with th 3.2 because of it's higher compression ratio. Another advantage of the 3.2 turbo is it is completely electronic so it is very easy to tune for more fuel. I once read somewhere that a 3.3 without the turbo has about 130hp, I would rather start with 217 and work my way up. Don't get me wrong, I admire your project and you can easily upgrade for more power as there is a whole lot of aftermarket for the turbo engines. Either way you'll both have some sick arse rides!
