280Bhp of Vaux V6 with a turbo, variable valve timing, all alloy..... and they sound fanatastic (note, Alfa use the 3.2 version of thsi V6......)

I bet that would blow up an AR25, would it fit an AR35?

An AR35 should cope, an R28 would be best though and both should bolt straight on.

If I win the lottery I will fit one. Are there any suitable 5 speed autos which would work?

Try these and tell me what you would do?

Riding on a bike, car pulls out, you fly over top left knee takes a big hit.

Long time later, walking in garden stumble, stand on edge of a paving stone, here loud crack from ankle, cannot walk. (also casulty took forever so I came home).

After that I have never been able to happily drive in traffic in a manual, I can walk, run (a bit) ride pedal or motor bike, but lots of clutch work knackers my left ankle

Apparently the bottom end is all forged steel. Brilliant engine.
Speaking of regal i wouldn't let the tune my lawnmower not an engine. My mates mr2 turbo was tuned by them before he bought it and was running like a bag of shit. He took it then to the people that build and tune the noble engines and they found the ignition timing 14 degrees retarded at peak torque and overfuelling at full power. Disgracefull!!!

i find it a bit challenging installing this plant on the omega given the fact that the turbo sits on the back of the engine. It could be done but it would be costly.

I'm happy with my 65 bhp thankyou  ;)
