Well...let me see. There's HKS, Greddy, blah blah blah.... I'm assuming you want a KIT and not just a turbo?

http://www.aseturbo.com are in development at the moment for a 6pot turbo kit. Until that is finished, or someone else out there makes a kit, you're out of luck.

Sure - do it all yourself, and you'll prolly end up paying shitloads. Go buy a V8.

yeah bro after a kit, but more so a company that does the whole job, tuning and all, apparently theres not a heap of software avail to tune the sv6's?

Castlehill Exhaust in Sydney are able to tune the factory computers. I believe they did an STS rear mounted turbo setup on a VE V6 that had good results... enough power to keep up with a stock V8

Do you really wanna waste that much money on a commodore? Just buy a SS.

You had better hope it's a manual because the auto's are as weak as piss behind a modified engine. BPS in Cleveland have done a few turbo conversions if your in brisbane.

Being different does not necessarily mean being better though... The 6.0L V8 with a tune will make more power and get better fuel economy than your car

yeah i know, thats why i wanna find out who can do it and see what other ideas they might have to help me, who knows by the time i get to do it i may have changed my mind, if i can get enough power out of mine to keep me happy ill do it, just saves buying a new car, plus rego would be more expensive tongue.gif haha

raptor does a kit for the VZ alloy tecs, they might be able to make it fit a VE.

Easiest/ best way to turbo a VE SV6 is to engine swap with either RB30 (a Skyline motor modified for VL's) or a 2JZ
