I've got a 2004 galant with the 3.8 v-6 just wondering if anybody has done some engine work. Im looking to do a cold-air, and wondered if anybody has slapped a turbo or supercharger on one. any help would be greatly appreciated

hey bro, i'm not extremely familiar w/ the galants but i can tell you that for a good start a cold air intake (AEM or INJEN i recomend to all) and a nice catback exhaust is a very good start. turbo'ing a non turbo'd car (especailly a V engine) is not cheap nor easy! to turbo a non turbo'd engine ( as long as you don't have to rebuild the bottom end ) you are lookin at between 3000-5000 depending on parts, name, tune etc. i'm going to leave the nitrous part of this question out b/c i'm not sure.... sorry but i hope this helps.

Hey, if youre gonna do it... make it a twin turbo... its a V... and I think it would be interesting to see a twin turbo Galant.

In the same pocket that the money for the single turbo is kept? lol... Once the groundwork (supporting mods) is (are) there it doesnt seem that it would be a lot more just to add another turbo... I could be wrong there... I just want to see a GalanTT.
