there's also the Saab 2.3 option.

bags of awailable horsepower and bolts straight to the gearbox you already have.

Not a bad plan, if you can get over the stigma of having a 4 pot.

There'll certainly be a lot more room around it.

Still only two thirds half an engine though....

You can bet they mounted the turbo under one of the heads which means it'll be too wide without some major surgery to the manifolds, etc.

Vectra c 2.8t has the turbo at the 'back' of the engine over the gear box. doesn't really lend itself to a rwd conversion without some serious plumbing. :-/

For the diseasalists, the 3.0 v6 cdti lump may be worth a look, although not sure where the turbo(s) live on that.  :-/

Yup, looks rather odd - 4 pots in a row and nowt else around! :-?
As someone also pointed out , lots of room too!
However, With people able to get 300+ out of them for not too much effort, it's quite a decent conversion to consider..........

As it goes, I'm very happy with the V6 so this sort of conversion would have be for another (as yet unowned!) car..........
