The V6 has asymetric turbocharging, i.e. one turbo is driven by one cylinder bank and feeds both cylinder banks. The turbo pressure is quite low, 0.2 bar, and is only used to increase the torque on low revs, not to add hp. The difference of back pressure on the two cylinder banks is compensated by different exhaust valve springs in the two banks and a Trionic 7 system that more or less treats the two banks as two three cylinder engines. Furthermore, the tiny turbo is built into the exhaust manifold and is therefore not easily replaceable. All this makes it difficult to get more hp out of the V6 and I know of only one tuner that have marketed anything for it (nothing spectacular). -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
