Alfa 2 litre turbo



>>This engine was an Italian tax dodge as far as I know. North America
drivers with sub $2 per gallon (yes nearly FOUR litres of fuel for less
than US$2) fuel costs would ask why anyone would destroke the 3 litre
before turbocharging it. What is the matter with these Europeans, just
turbo the 3.0 litre for gawsh sakes.<<

It was an Italian tax dodge when originally brought out, in the Alfa 6 and
later the Alfa 90. It is a destroked 2.5 V6. The turbo version came later
and puts out 205hp in the version used in the 166 and 200hp in the GTV

As with any turbo car you can perform simple changes to swap engine
life for some power

All the best
