Heh you know what i was just talkin with my buddy who has a few turbo'd vw's and he would like to see my truck put out more power. He wrote up a budget turbo system i could install and it came to $3k or so. As you know the 3.9 is a dog so Im looking into a turbo system or i might just drop a 360 in when the time comes.
