Hi all I may be able to place my hands on a decent condition 406 sri turbo and would love to have boost in my Gti6  have many people done this conversion ? Is it worthwhile? And is it straightforward ? I don't want masses of boost and huge power just the power delivery of a turbo and around the 180bhp mark would make me a happy man  |

Straightforward? Reasonably, yes.Worthwhile? Matter of opinion really. They're 150bhp as standard and unreliable tuned. I wouldn't bother personally. ________________________________________ Rich |

There not a bad engine to be honest. There quite easy tuned to 200bhp+ that red rallye on ebay is quick. I know the lad who has it and i have had a drive out it. Front mount intercooler, more boost, 205 1.9 gti cam and a remap will see you around 210-230 bhp. All depends what engine you get as well as they come with 2 different pistons. 1 engine has pocketed pistons and the other has flat pistons. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

they don't rev to anywhere near 6.5k, most peak at 5.5k, it was designed to power big barges like the xantia, XM 605 and 406, the citroens had the CT badging, "constant torque"________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

You would be far better off boosting the '6' engine, even if you made it into a 'low blow' conversion. Much better base to start with...and tidier!________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
