Ive had 3 VH's so far. The first it was a 173, then put a 253 in it then later took off the road, put a twin turbo VP V6 in it. The last one was an injected 304 that i was going to twin turbo but never got the time or $$$. Good luck, there by far the tuffest commodore - Such a massive rise in them when the big twin turbo VH's came about.

Out of curiosity you seem to have spent good money for quality parts in terms of engine components - is it wise to risk all that with Ebay turbo's ? I'd be more than a touch worried with the bad rep they have. Thoughts?

Good luck, there by far the tuffest commodore - Such a massive rise in them when the big twin turbo VH's came about. I remember that twin turbo vh v6 being advertised in the tradingpost? You were selling it with the plates for like 6k yer? Ive got a twin turbo vh kicking about somewhere aswell, by far one of the tuffest looking commo's of all time.

haha fark man that was years ago ! nah not with the plates but yes that sounds about right. It was really nice. I re painted it, fitted VN calais interior, re done all the dash (not the cheap crap that half the retards do around here with a $2 can of spray paint) fitted motor, enging + twin turbo setup.

You got any pics of it? I only remember the ad because it mentioned the PSIWOG plates in it lol. I toyed with the idea of twin turbo'ing my VH wagon, but I want to keep it a daily driver, so I've modded everything else apart from the drivetrain! Maybe one day who knows Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
