Not factory at all. Dealer fitted, could be. But never ever left the Holden factory with a turbo 6.

I love the scoop, you can most certainly tell that that is totally factory.  (not)

I heard that some early commodores were fitted with turbos in small limited numbers. But that has a high mount and a garret t4????? I dont think them parts would be factory.

Prototype, yes but never sold to the public. This happened way back in the HZ Kingswood era
