Is there a TURBO Speed Six engine?

[natben]

A german guy at work would like a Tuscan or T350 and seems to think a few have had Turbo's fitted. I own a SP6 and can't say I have ever heard of one. So is there one? Is anyone doing one? and why not if the answer is No.

Ah yes forgot about Pascal, he is getting a turbo fitted at Racing Green if I remember rightly? maybe this is what he was thinking about but it is not up and running yet is it?.
Wonder why it hasn't been done before?, maybe the early SP6 were to fragile but with the rebuilt engines proving to be strong from Power,st8six and Racing Green I wonder if we will see Turbo's in the future?.

Any reason why you can't fit a Turbo or why no one has done it?

I have never driven a Turbo car except a few diesels so can't really comment on how well they drive or if it would work in a SP6.

Thanks Pascal, certainley looks like a lot of work and expense to get a turbo fitted to a SP6.

Won`t the Turbo melt the chocolate engine ?

It's not an AJP so should be fine!!

What are you going to do with the car/engine Pascal. Will you go somewhare else to develop it LS perhaps? or have you had enough.
It would be a shame to lose you from TVR.

Pascal has parted with £43K for some work on his Tuscan engine and has Hee Haw to show for it after 70 months!!

Unfortunatley it looks like Pascal can be added to the list of TVR owners who have spent fortunes, been promised great things but in the end have recieved very little for there money!!

AT least Dom at TVR Power builds and tests his products at his own expense, It seems like some others use customers money and cars to fund there test projects and in the end the customer is the one left suffering.
