I bought my vl calais about 2 months ago from a guy in Bunbury WA, for $5000. It already had the RB20det in and a Five speed manual gear box in it so that was an added bonus. Its in the paintshop now being treated to a nice full respray of Glasurit Pearl White,it's going to cost more than the actual car to get it painted but it's worth every cent, some nice rims and I should be set, for now anyway. Well here are my calais specs it has a Turbo smart Dual stage boost controller, which regulates the boost from 15psi to high boost which is set at 16psi, I cant turn the boost down lower than 15 psi for some reason, Turbo smart adjustable BOV,3 inch mandrel bent dump pipe into front pipe purchased from flyn performance somewhere over east, 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust from the cat back back, a stage 2 AVO front mount intercooler, it has mild steel intercooler pipes for now but i've got some polished stainless pipes that i'm going to fabricate, Ive fabricated an Oil catch can but havent fitted it yet. Now under the car I've replaced the rear shocks with KONI adjustables which i purchased from wilkinsons suspensions in Perth. The front KONIS are still on my old vl commodore along with the K-MAC adjustable bearing plates I have to swap those items over still, Whiteline strut brace. Before i purchased the car I had it checked on the dyno and was happy with the 205 rear wheel horse power it spat out. Updated Pics Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

quick tip dont run the stock turbo over 15psi as it wont last long
