Im going to go outside the square here and say..... have you thought about a rear mounted turbo??? have a look at this site: http://www.ststurbo.com/f_a_q. they have complete kits for all the new camaros etc. the trick is to size the exhaust housing right. and while i duck my head in cover for all the abuse ill get for suggesting it:- im currently in the process of completing such a setup on my vr v8. in fact it is actually on the road and frying tyres. im in the r&d stage now. pop the bonnet and apart from the different inlet pipe, you wouldnt have a clue wats going on! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

All the best with the vr turbo conversion.. When I had my VS V8 5speed I wanted to bolt a turbo or two up to it. No one would look at me. Every one said bah, turbo crap; supercharger is the only way to go. $8,000 Thank you. Bugger that. I even popped in to a few jap tuning places that only deal with turbo. They too were not interestered. So I spent a few thousand on cams etc. Was dissapointed so I sold it and bought a R32 GTST and dropped a rb30det in it There's no replacement for displacement. Still.. In my books there's nothing sweeter sounding than the awesome sounding Holden V8 (sounds like a real v8 unlike the ls1's) and the turbo whooshing away as it force feeds. If I still owned the car with my knowledge now I would feel confident doing the work myself. How are you doing the turbo setup on the VR? pics pics. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Theres a Red VG ute up here in a workshop with a massive turbo getting fitted.. I will ask if I can take a pic.. this makes the GT45 look small.. I spoke to the business owner and 1000hp at the treads is a high possiblity.. The pipe work is extremely neat.. and fits very nicely..
