Default Turbo Colorado?
I was thinking about a WS6 for my next car, but I saw a Colorado drive buy and I liked it. And I want to mod my next car so I was thinking turbo the I5. Any thoughts?

Making a turbo setup for and inline motor would be lots EZer then a V type. Lots less plumbing. And there is lots of room under the hood of the Colorado.. And its a nice looking truck IMO

Only big problem is no tuning calabilities and it's a speed density run motor, so it wouldn't be boost friendly in stock trim.
