I take it this is your first f-body?
Good luck with a TT set-up...it ain't gonna happen. There are turbo kits for the 3.8, but I never seen or heard of a TT set-up.
Stay away from Flowmaster...
Forget a engine swap...you're better off just selling your car and picking up a V8.
You said it already has dual...F-bodies don't have true duals, but I'm assuming you have dual exhuast exits. If that's the case your V6 probably has the Y87 package.
I shouldn't say "it ain't gonna happen"...anything is possible if you have deep pockets.
If you're really looking at modding your V6, have some ideas about where you want to go.
First thing I'd do is make it breathe easier...intake and exhuast.

research your car...f-bodies aren't like anything else on the road.
Welcome aboard.

Well a TT setup can happen on any car ever made. Even the over the counter turbo kits require a significant amount of fab work. If you compare 20 different turbocharged f-bodies, not one of them would be even close to the same.
The real question is will the stock bottom end handle the boost, and is worth the money on this V6? Sell it and buy a V8.

I would do a cold air intake, muffler and tailpipes, a few bolt ons and effeciency items, maybe rear end gears and leave it at that. Then you can enjoy the car without dumping major bucks into it and breaking other items in the process. It can perform decent just with that. If you insist, maybe a small shot of nitrous. Anything other than that will require you to dump some serious cash and time into the project.Originally posted by 02_firebird
