well do you want to keep it supercharged or do you want to take off the supercharger and turbo it because they make turbo kits for the 3800.

i did lol. gave my buddie my account so that was him asking about the 3.8 swap. the alero actually blew up on him the other day i guess. he said he threw a rod through the pan? thinking about buying it back and putting a new motor in it so i dont have to drive the diesel to work and back every day. plus with what i have done to it now i use a quarter tank every 2 days
