    Default what do you reckon?

    this fella is deadset that midis holden fitted a turbo to his car and says it came from the factory like this.

    sale has ended now but what do you guys reckon? the intake manifold certainly doesn't look factory for a start.

    personally i don't think it's genuine, but then again i was suprised to see some of the brocks that i thought were fake, were actually real so who knows, i don't.

    A factory fitted turbo.......just not the holden factory
    Made a reasonable job of fabricating the manifold from all you can see in that picture.If it's been rebuilt from the ground up you would thought the seller would have spent a few pennies on the right dash mat and a bit better condition steering wheel tho
    Is that a genuine HDT rear wing? Thought they were more of a super large lip rather than a seperate wing?

    I've heard of a few VB's and VC's with this kind of thing fitted not by the factory, but by the dealer. I'll see if I can hunt up the article I was reading when I get home.
    Beau Duke: Man, I'm never gonna get outta this car again. I'm gonna live in it, I'm gonna eat in it and I'm gonna make sweet love to it!
    Luke Duke: You mean you're gonna make sweet love IN it.
    Beau Duke: Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it.
