Never heard of one being done, but for what it might cost it may well be cheaper to drop in a V8.

what about a NOS kit, dunno if that has ever been fitted to a V6 Miggy before.

There is a few on You tube that have been super charged, sound quite harse to be honest, Courtney did a turbo kit for the old bill on the preface lifts, but it was low pressued and just about brought the Mv6 estates back up to spec speed wise after they where full of gear - never seen a civi one though.

As for super charging the best bet would be to look for a kit from the states for the caddy - as a guide it was going to cost me about £3000 to SC my mondeo using a kit for a US Focus...

If BMW's are any thing to go by, you will be looking at about £2500-3500 for a complete kit, try Courtney turbos, the only problem I could see. would be the gearbox, not the strongest around

Isnt there some requirement to change the head gaskets to do something with the compression ratio like with turbos?

Sorry if I am wrong  :-[
