Well why not just build a 5sgte. Then save the turbo for later. So essentially a 5sge.
Building an engine at this point will take more time and be more costly...

I havent had enough time to search, but yes a small v6 would be great. I'd buy a beams, but parts availability has me a little worried.
V6 under 2.65 liters might be tough though.
