Default 24v Cosworth turbo

Has anyone come across a turbo'd version of the Cosworth 24v V6?

As I've heard that its quite straight forward to turbo-charge these engines to achieve good outputs and quite cost-effective.

24v Engines in stardard form are Very fooking reliable only on thing goes wrong and that the chain breaks and that does not happin very often.

I only one that i know of hading been rolling road was a 24v twin turbo and that was 320 bhp and I think the same in torque at 7psi boost. The engine was taken up to 14 psi and it started miss firing. I think that was sorted in the end.

Unless you have no top end oil returns on it and slam it down to second gear @ 65 mph at combe (real tears)
Ooooops....
Netx one should be perfect though, and fitz has been helpful so far (unlike Ford who are doing engine swap )
