First...ours are Series II 3800's so I'm sure there are quite a few.

No!! Except for the name and the thermostat and some other parts they have nothing in common. The GN engine is a lot stronger in order to survive the hi psi forced induction caused by the Garret turbo. Different pistons, rods, crankshaft, valves, and cylinder head are the keywords here. So, for those of you who want to put he GN turbo kit on their 3800 be ready to expect empty wallets and some serious work [img]smile.gif[/img] <hr></blockquote>
