Heres a story that I came across about a possible pontiac G8 Turbo.
http://www.leftlanenews.com/gm-four-...prototype.html It may find its way into the hero dunnydore. Might have some fuel economy but you wouldn't tell anyone whats under the bonnet.

slightly off topic but i think its only a matter of time before holden/hsv go forced induction.
they are building these big cube motors with decent numbers and yet ford/fpv are matching/killing them with the turbo 6. obviously it won't be the 4cyl like in the article but i wouldn't be surprised if forced induction ends up at holden in the next year or so. they played with a supercharger before which was pathetic but given ford and toyota both have force fed 6's at the moment, its only a matter of time. |

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

I don't understand what is so funny about a G8 having a turbo 4 ? Is there a standing joke I'm unaware of, because Ford are being touted as looking at one for the Taurus:
