possible, yes. easy, well how technically inept are you? you want to do it any time in the forseeable future? recommendation is pimp around in the xt til your off the plates & invest in a factory turbo. better way to go about it.
for reference, the ded gas barra motors are better for boost as they have stronger conrods (and i imagine gudgies, cranks etc too)

This is the most realistic thread to come out of a kid on school holidays yet I think.
Still needs to put the crack pipe down, but at least it is somewhat though out!

if you want a turbo falcon buy a xr6t, not a XT then turbo it, you'll spend way over the amount to buy a turbo xr6, plus the xr6t will be a lot more reliable and unless your spending big dollars a lot more powerful then a turbo xt. if you have a XT and want to turbo it, sell it an buy a xr6t. plus a modified exhaust for a NA 6 may be good for a NA 6 but probably wont cope for a xr6t

WILDEB wrote: did you look at his age? he's 16. isn't it illegal to drive a turbo? yeah, i did. maybe he'll be the reason ACT brings in laws about restricted cars if he throws it in to the trees. Main reason I didnt rip him was because in the scheme of things on this site he's young, but also interested & enthusiastic. Im sure he's had a look at that other tossers thread too & knows he's got a way to go yet till he should be aiming for power. Just one suggestion Zac, get all your new body kits & toys and put them on yourself. You'll appreciated it far more, save money & most of all learn heaps about mechanical stuff. as always, we're all here to help & give good advice
