turbo cause its more efficient and builds more power, only if those v6's can keep the hg's from blowing

Turbocharging and supercharging have been debated against each other forever.  It'd probably be easiest to swap an engine, harness, and ECC out of a supercharged MN-12 car.  A guy who used to visit this site did it a while back, so it's do-able, just probably not easy.

From everything I have read, the smaller engines, (4 cyl. and 6 cyl) seem to respond better (only if all things on two identical engines are the same) to turbocharging.

The superchargers seem to rob too much power to run the blower on smaller engines.

OEMs love blowers better because of packaging and durability (read warranty) concerns.

Probably why the 88 TC was the last of the mid size cars with a turbo.
