they also do a few 3.0 V6's in the XM, varying in power outputs in relation to age:
-97 = 170BHP
9+ = 194
and another one which has 210 BHP, which i assume is the same engine as found in the C5

low pressure turbo you twonk. it's for getter emissions plus you don;t want the turbo to outperform the V6.
they also produced a 2.0L, 2.1 TD, 2.5TD in the XM.

i thinkin for a couple o years in future, but if i were to go for say 3.0 V6, get that squeezed into my xsara (shouldn't see much of a problem as its in xantias and C5s), would it totally mess up my steering even if i had a really good suspension setup?
or would i be better off goin for 2.0 16v turbo?
hope its more than 150 bhp

yes, apparently there is a 3.0 V6 in xantia
i'm thinkin i might be better off goin for a standard 2.0 16v and then gettin a good turbo fitted after

bigger turbo means bigger boost. it also means more smooth and graduall boost rather than bang on boost.
