Default Turbocharged 3800 V6 4th gen

I've been thinking about picking up a 4th gen with the L36 engine in it to do a turbo build. I hail from the Grand Prix community, and have a 2001 GTP that has had an intercooler, heads, cam and a built transmission installed on. The idea of a turbo Camaro has intrigued me for a long time, because I see a lot of people running turbo's on their N/A Grand Prix's and making a lot of power.

Do any companies make a turbo kit for the 4th gen V6 Camaro? the other idea I have is to install a set of heads I took off my Grand Prix onto a 4th gen Camaro and then use the extra injector bungs to do a direct port nitrous/methanol injection.

One reason I want to stay with the V6 is to keep costs down, but my recent searches have shown me people think their V6's are worth as much as the V8's. Another reason I like the V6 is because I am already familiar with them. I may end up getting a V8 to work on if I don't find a V6 for the right price.

ls1 is one of the best engines for building. if you can afford it pick up a 98-02. brb
