Being a straight 6, the blower will be a side mount job, rather than sitting in the V as on a V8.
I beleive, although I might be wrong, that Shorrock made blower kits for the GT6 back in the day, might not be easy to track one down, though.

Your insurance will cost more than our national debt, probably! 
I have seen a TR6 that had the blower from a VW Corrado G60 fitted. Mind you it was a hillclimb car and he was tinkering with it to make it run properly, and he could have had god knows what other mods in the block itself...

im pretty sure it would.
plenty have done the conversion to the 2.5/3ltr and got them to silly bhp.
now with the stag 3ltr and a blower. that would be fun fun fun.
looking for the blower tho. not many around apparently.
should be a good project for a year or so

PoorGuy- I had Power Engineering supercharge a 3.1 V6 XR4i in 1988.
They used a Sprintex Supercharger that was popular at the time.
The major cost though, I believe, was the casting of the pipework.
As there were only ever a few converted production costs were high.
The engine and charger then cost me approx £6500 but it was a fantastic power delivery.
A pal of mine still has the set-up in his garage at home as he was going to fit it into a TR7 some years back and never did.
The charger no doubt would be for sale, or you might want to speak to David Power at Power Engineering to see if he has any still lying about or he could point you in the right direction.
