Nice car. I have a soft spot for VL turbos, used to own a 1988 BT1 turbo that I rebuilt from ground up including bare metal repaint in Alpine white with Warm Grey bars & moulds. Sad to say I had to sell it to finance my Torana project.

Looks sweet mate, I've always wished holden could have build a six as tough as the rb's. stupid question, but, is that the stardard exhaust manifold? if not, what does a standard one look like?
Any idea how many hp shes puttin out?
Cheers
