ok guys i have always toyed with the idea of twin turbo for the paj and i know the GTOs (3000GT) have the 6G72 24valve motor. however up until recently i have thought that they only came in the SOHC 24valve engine, until i found out that for a few years they ran a 6G72 SOHC 12valve, same engine that i have now.

what im really chassing is specific differences between the 2 motors (turbo and NA) and any obvious issues one might have transfering the turbo gear across

cheers guys

the internals would be totally different.

I am no expert with the mitsubishi motors as I have only had my paj for a few months, but I have had Nissan import sports cars for a long time and the difference in their turbo and n/a engines were interals.

You could quite easily carry the turbo setup across, but how long your engine would last is a totally different question.

You would also most probably need an aftermarket ECU.
