first things first thanks for all and any feedback i get on this forum, i need it. my 02 specv has a blown motor and i plan on starting work before christmas but because of what little research ive done im torn. instincts tell me to swap another 2.5 and add a turbo, but then i see the 3.5 swap and i love the idea. so heres my question..... 3.5 6 cylinder with a turbo upgrade on a specv, has it been done? can it be done?

I know the 3.5 can be done and has been done. I dont see any reason you couldnt turbo it.

i know the 3.5 can and has been done. but the specv has enough torque steer as it is and i thought that a turbo on qr35 would mean alot of suspension work or maybe run into a space issue under the hood

It's a VQ35 swap, not a QR, just FYI.

Anyway, I don't think any of them have been turbo'd yet. Space is certainly tight, so that may be the issue. To be honest, it'd probably be practically undriveable.

That said, contact Trav4011 (VQ swap guy). Check the Table of Contents, I think there's a link to more VQ-swap info there.
