if you have an airbox setup than a cooler should pass roady, but the hole in the skirt wont, and if you a running a standard ecu they wont be able to tune it without a nistune (other than play with afm, timing, and fuel pressure if you got an adjustable reg) so its not really going to affect it if you swap and change a few things.

This figure is ridiculous. You don't pick up that much power from just a cooler and no extra boost. Also, without a new/modified ECU there is very little that can be 'tuned' on a VL.

Off topic, but in VIC. this statement that you have made for cutting parcel shelf. This will not pass roadworthy here. But some may not know this and dont look! I know that my rwc bloke where i go always looks here and if he see's that its cut, he will not pass the car until you either weld a plate right across covering the holes, or screw it there as long as you cant see it.
