Just wondering if this is possible, as i've looked in my engine bay and i dont see any room for one.

Does anyone know of someone who has done this?

right now i'm @210hp and 225tq if i wanted to get 250hp what psi would i need to be running?

edit// btw is this gonna be a problem with my auto tranny?

if u are gonna touch that car i'm gonna get my ass to toronto and kick your butt. ;)

what';s the point ? thae car was made for luxury and not for speed. i guess you could do that, and i wouldn't worry about the tranny. about what yopu would need to boost i gues you are looking like 4-5psi

well i want more power, and i want to push her beyond the 130mph limiter.

things got turning in my mind and i was wondering if it was possible, yes i know i would get the ecu ship changed but i still would like more power

I think it would have to be all custom, which would be very expensive.

Sure its possible but it will have to be nearly all custom. It wont be cheap but it will make some serious power. If you trying to get 40 more horsepower of of it nitrous would be far less expensive than turbo and your motor wouldnt even break a sweat with a 50 shot. i love my turbo but sometimes nitrous is far more practical mainly because it works on anything (even a MTD lawn tractor, dont ask me how i know).

I've seen a yellow turboed RL in a magazine- I wanna say it was Super Street, but it might have been Import Tuner. I remember it caught my eye because, well, it was a turboed RL. Speed and luxury- can't beat that. I can't imagine it would be that expensive. The only custom pieces would be your intercooler plumbing, downpipe, and manifold. I say go for it. Put a little work into it, and you'd be making magazines, too.

Actually, if you could find a manifold, you have the logistics battle 90% complete. If you can't find a manifold, then find people that have made their own. Then, you could custom turbo the rest of it. The people that I know that go custom spend less or the same money and can select a real quality product in comparison to Drag, FMAX, and other kits.
