The turbo and manifold are not the issue for this project. Its the timing/ecu. The 2.8s come with a hitachi ECU which cannot be upgraded, EVER. The only way to make this work (correctly) is with stand alone engine management i.e. megasquirt. You will need to spend countless hours figuring out the correct timing and could risk serious damage to your car while doing so. If this is your DD and you cant afford to get a new car if something happens, I would highly recommend against trying.

Get a stock 2.7t one, & put it on.
If you want to do it cheap, get an adjustable FPR & a wideband. Between that & Lemi you should be able to tune it around 75%.

One of the guys that runs with Cumberland Motor Club turbo'd his VR6. It's not impossible to turbocharge an engine that was never made for it, but it's far from simple...

For the 12v, the 30v has a different ECU thats why they actually make chips for it. The euro spec 12v did however come with a Bosch (i believe) ECU which can be tuned, from what I have read. Don't think it's as simple as a direct swap though. If my car wasnt a DD i would be tempted to check out the megasquirt. Not really because it would give me godlike power, but just to learn more about tuning and all that stuff. Good luck if you can do it, but it's just a HUGE task for us 12vers.

Looks like I'll stay away from every 12v. I don't think that I'v ever even played with a 12v only the 30v.

A vr6 is not hard. You have all 6 intake ports on one side and all 6 exhaust ports on the other. Its "almost" like an inline 6 except they arent next to each other. Thats why they call the 8 cyl version a W8, still a vr engine.
