Default XR8 TURBO Hmmmm?

my mate makes turbo kits for e-series falcons, and he uploaded this photo of my car to facebook today.

(my car is stored at his house,till we do the valve springs this weekend)



look good in there

might have to get rid of the lower air box though as it might melt a bit.

Dooooooo eeeeeeeeeeet Shane.

Once you go boost you never want to go back to n/a. For real

2k is cheap for a kit. The hardest part is pipework for intercooling and then tuning. But a low boost setup would have some awesome amounts of WIN for your car.

poelwyk- i can see why the kit wouldnt fit on a AU.

lol shav, i gotta fix the car first, we replaced the valve spring that broke and decided to start it up before continuing with the rest and ive bent a rod too. so just hoping now that the lifter is ok. the valve and piston seem fine. as the valve seals,and when rotated it doesnt wobble or anything.
