Default T70 Turbocharger

would a T70 turbocharger work in my 3.8L 2002 v6?

what other parts would i'd need to purchase before getting the T70?

could i install it myself, or should i take it to a shop. on a level 1-10 on how well you are with mechanics, 10 being the best, 1 being the worst, i'd say i'm a high 3, low 4.

if i take it to a shop, what price do you think i'd be looking at? 5k?

how much HP should this add?

I think a T70 will be a bit big for your 3.8. while it will spool it I think it will be lazy.do a search on what the Grand Nationals Ran from the factory. that should get you a good start. A T70 can make some big HP numbers. would be a lot for a stock V6 or close to stock if that is what you got.

"I think a T70 will be a bit big for your 3.8. while it will spool it I think it will be lazy"

and by that you mean? and yeah, it's a stock v6.

i'd need a custom turbo kit, right?

Don't take this the wrong way but if your asking these types of questions there is no way your ready to this kind of thing yourself. Your best bet is to tkae it to a shop or buy a pre-fab kit. Plan on spending $3-5000

I mean it will be laggy and slow to come on boost.it wont come on boost till late in the RPM's. a smaller turbo would be better for you with a street car and a v6. But I have been wrong before.
