Default Ecoboost JK?
Know I can be the only one who thinks this would be bada$$, so who has enough money and wants to try it? Haha I'd like to see it

I owuld love to see a twin turbo direct injection kit for the 3.6. All you would need is new heads turbos adn a bunch of other crap. I t would be sweet though.

I am pretty sure it has twins to address the turbo lag.

Nothing should have turbo lag as long as it is tuned correctly.

It would have to be better than it is stock (low end torque). I'd be intrested if the price was right

A modern turbo setup would be outstanding. My wife's BMW 335i has monster torque way down low. Fells like a V8.

Doesn't the I-6 go back to AMC? I don't know, just asking.

The 4.0 was definitely a much better motor than the 3.8. Too bad it liked to leak so much
