Evening chaps, I'm in the process of converting mydead 6 to an 8v turbo, i've bought an Evo 8 intercooler which i have managed squeeze in, however, since i will probably be only running approx 12 psi boost, i'm starting to wonder if this big I/C is going to be too big. Small turbo, lowish volume of air???? Any thoughts guys cheers |

If only!! bigger turbo and manifold to suit it, £1200.I kind of like the lazy torquey power delivery, 6 engine was good (until it decided to drop a valve) but drove a xantia activa turbo and thought, yeah i like this, wonder what it would be like in my 306!! |

My dad had one and it handled amazingly! Rare as rocking horse shit now though. The engine is also a cracker and easy to extract power from. Stick it in the 6  ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

yes, handling was shockingly good, that anti roll hydro system works very very well, together with stonking mid range torque! Certainly not what you'd expect from a big heavy, not to mention ugly xantiaAnyway, is my fmic a bit on the big side???? Anyone? |
