3.0 V6 tuning

does anyone know where i can get tuning parts for the V6? like cams and pulleys? throttle bodies? i am looking for anything to increase the power. but it has to be specifically made for this engine.
sure, i can bolt a couple of turbos or a supercharger on and get it to work, but what about forged pistons with a lower compression to give a real power boost?
does anyone know of any tuning companies french or english that could have bolt on performance parts for this engine?
i would be very grateful to anyone with some serious comments or links, they would be helping me out SO much.

thanks for your time

Help me please !!!

What year is it? and also look on your log book / user manual as it should say which version ??

Failing that I think there is a difference with the engine cover, someone with a V6 will be able to tell you otherwise !

DP Engineering (dutch dudes) have recently made a turbokit for the 3.0 V6. Yummy!
They made/developed it on the ES9J4.
http://www.dp-engineering.nl

The 195bhp version is in the 406 phase1 , engine code is ES9J4 and compression ratio is 10.5
The 210bhp version is in the 406 phase2 , engine code is ES9J4S and compression ratio is 10.9

They've finished it (months ago), adding approx 70hp, making it 265hp altogether.
Where are you in your project?
