Have a 2018 v6 rs. What is the best bang for your buck turbo kit to buy. Kids in college so can’t break the bank

I own a 2018 V6 RS myself. If this is your daily driver then best for bang for your buck and turbo in the same sentence might not be a good combo lol. Maybe it's just me, but if I'm doing something as significant as forced induction, then I want the most reliable kit regardless of price. I've seen far to many cheap turbo and blower kits that give more problems than they're worth

You'll pay a lot more for a turbo kit than a supercharger kit (which is in 7k range).

For superchargers; Overkill is probably one of the more noted ones (or was when I was boosting my 2010 V6). Check the forced induction sub forum.

nitrous kit maybe,if youre looking to surprise people once in a while.im happy with my RS the way it is.

never seen a turbo kit for a v6 but i know edelbrock and a few other companies make supercharge kits but they are $$$

[Vtor_ZL1]

Nitrous, cheaper, lighter, probably more reliable.


Keep in mind power adders DO NOT add reliability

Thank you for the replies. It’s not my daily driver. I’m putting in a new exhaust system. Already have a k&n intake and jms pedal max. With the new down pipes and exhaust. New throttle body just curious on what to do next. Turbo would be nice. Nitrous works by have never done it. Maybe just do a trifecta tune and be down with it?

Just a tune alone will make a nice difference, and it won't be pushing the motor hard like forced induction would. Won't add a ton of power, but it would definitely change the driving characteristics of the car

Once you figure out that nobody makes a turbo kit for the v6, there are 2 supercharger kits for the v6. The Edelbrock top mount blower kit and the procharger centrifugal kit are your 2 supercharger choices. If it was my v6, I'd go with the procharger kit and upgrade the head unit to a P1X.
