The one big thing that the 3800 has over any turbo is that Supercharger whine and redline chirp. Thats something you cant ever replace

3900 was a suggestion because it makes as much power as a stock~ GTP and was put in the G6 from the factory so it'd be a MUCH simpler swap than a 3800...which wouldn't be easy.
I'm sure if it's apart a nice custom cam/ported heads/intake/TB and whatever exhaust is offered for the 3900 should run just fine.
05 GTP. K&N Intake and magnaflow mufflers, plog-cross-rear exhaust with 3' DP. (Soon to be 3.6 and ported SC)
