LFX engine got like no headers.
Its one hole out of the block.

Put small turbo on each one?
Or perhaps not enough room; maybe too hot under there?

Someone has to know why everyone isn't doing this u don't even need to fabricate headers.

Basically because the car isn't turbo to start with (not that it doesn't stop you doing it, but performance R&D from companies is generally more favorable to already performance oriented engines), not to mention that the outlet ports are not he same size as a turbo flange so there's still an intermediate piece you need to bolt the two together. My understanding is that the VE/VF V6 ECUs are a pain to tune also. The only mob I've heard of doing a tuned drive in drive out package for the 3.6 range is Goat performance.

Most average people would also probably go V8 anyway as the buy in for the cars these engines are in is still relatively high at the moment along with the actual cost of the kit.
