Hello Pauly2478,

There are a number of options to boosting up your V6:

Whilst we do recommend Supercharging we do not actually sell aftermarket bolt-on superchargers as the market is already well catered for.

We recommend enquiring to the following aftermarket supercharger retailers:

- CAPA Performance www.capa.com.au from around $6k
- CRS (Castlemaine Rod Shop) www.rodshop.com.au from around $2k

You may find if you are not overly attached to your current ride, you may be strategically better off trading in your current car on a supercharged version. Sometimes the change over difference may be less than going through the hassle and expense of supercharging your existing engine.

Check out the following link for more details:

With regards to locating and purchasing a S/H Supercharged V6 we would recommend the following:

- Check out your local wreckers
- Check out the "Damaged Vehicles Auction" houses
- Check the Wrecking Section of your local paper

There is also a Magazine called "Parts Peddler" or "Just Parts" and it usually has loads of listings for supercharged v6 engines all around the country. They are becoming more popular and available now.

As hinterland and blofly mentioned finding a wrecked Super6 vehicle with all the necessary bits may sometimes be the better solution than trying to supercharge your N/A motor as it is already setup for boost from the factory.

Turbocharging in general done correctly will cost upwards of $10k

Hope this information helps.

Regards

Tonsta
