you can mod like all the buick engines to be turbo just have to fabricate alot alot alot of shit like my 3.1 i have to do intake and make a crossover and run stock 5 psi on stock engine internals with the ecu tuned and the engine will actually hold up that much but if more boost have to rebuild everything

@JcTheKillaClown Yes - I did an expiriment with boosting a completely stock car. First mod was turbo only, no tune. It would take 5 PSI no mods at all and no side effects.

Then I did a re-tune. I could get 7 or 8 out of it before the injectors became a limiting factor.

Finally I installed 28 Lb injectors and re-tuned for them. The engine will make 12 PSI, no side effects, and any more overpowers the transmission.

So a stock Buick 3.8 can take 10 or 12 PSI w/ correct tune + injectors.
