I got a quote back from pug1off for turboing my v6
"Hi Paul,
This would be completely custom work, you’d have to expect to spend in excess of 10,000 for a half decent job. Supercharging may be a bit cheaper 6-7000 maybe. Then you need to think about the diff as this will be custom too.
Best regards,
Matt"
So I'm not going to do that anytime soon

There is a 400 bhp one in circulation from Devil developments
No info on the car though, but my mate works there here and there and told me about it & I did see a picture.
There will be a few about that aren't on forums.
Only found out about some nos powered ones before because they ended up on ebay lol.

For that money I'd be investigating the 1.6 turbo 207 GTi/Cooper S engine. Plenty of potential in those...although I think they use BMWs Valvetronic system rather than a proper throttle butterfly and all that might be difficult to hookup to a standalone ECU.

Name rings a bell, Devil Developments,
Rear mounted turbo apparently, 350 bhp & it's a 180.
That's what I was told, my mates Glanza goes there & he does a few other bits for mates, one works there on a weekend basis I think.
They could be just pulling my c**k, like I really give a s**t though lol there was a KMF 206 in a RR pic only the rear end and they said about it.

What a load of utter b******s. The DT loves to alter its timing daily along with piston ring failure on the DS side of the market.
The engine is shockingly bad
