hey im deciding what to do with my vl calais i wanna go turbo and my engine needs a rebuild. so i was thinking rebuild my engine then go turbo.. or i have rang around and i found a fully reconditioned original turbo engine and i can get it with exchange of mine fully installed everything needed for conversion for $3000 i think this will be easier for me as i cant do any of it my self. but if i get a whole new engine this will mean my engine number will be different so does that mean i will have to go over regency ?? if so i would rather keep my engine recondition that one then go turbo and just not bother telling them about the turbo coz then im at least half in the right. sorry about the essay lol but any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advanced
motor rego doesnt need to know anything about a new engine unless you are defected then they give it the once over and check if you have the right brakes (disc all round) dont tell them about turbo either way.
and if a cop pulls you over and asks if its original turbo you say yes or "im pretty sure it is"
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
go the original turbo engine but make sure its what they say it is and has been recond etc and motor reg u just fill in forms and it dnt have 2 go over regency well thats what i was just told by a mate of mine whos a police officer. plus in my opinion anyway gettin that engine installed by a mechanic/shop u should get a form or something like a engineers certificate that u can show police correct me if im wrong anyone know about that??

Do what Pat said. I did it in my old VLT till i got defected, then they send you to the I.D. joint around the corner from regency and make up a sticker and make everything legit

Yeah man.
Just make sure u act ignorant. Cop asks is this OG turbo? you simply say 'Yeah? I'm pretty sure mate. How i bought it' or something similar. I did that and worked.
Yeah, dont say anything and you wont have to worry about it unless you do stupid sh*&... plus you got the exhaust already so thats one less thing you need. I sold my RB30ET Motor to my mate with a calais about a year ago, he didnt get the engine numbers changed over and he hasnt been botherd about it...
