It's not the turbo you need to be concerned with...its the manifold, intercooler piping, etc.

its not really a viable option to turbo a 96 v6, your better off selling it and getting a 4 cylinder EX 5 Speed. Theres not enough space in your engine bay to do much. There isnt much of a market out for the v6 5th gens. I have a 97 and have exhausted what I can just bolt on, Im doing retrofits now and getting bored of that too. Cut your losses and sell the car for something more easily upgraded.

Yea, there are no turbos out for v6s.

Check: http://www.v6performance.net they maybe have a custom turbo i think coming out soon, im not totally sure what gen its for..or even if they are still coming out with it, but good luck.

There are belt driven spiral gear superchargers available, but I know of no Kit Available Turbo's for the V6. (may have to do with available space under the hood.......
