    depends what cond your vl is in
    depends how far you wana go with it
    you can buy standard turbo conversions for around $1000 and if your good with the tools it aint hard to bolt it up your self.personaly i hate n/a converteds if rather spend i lil more and buy a whole motor

    depending on how much psi u want will equal ur cost of the job.

    6-7psi is cheap...

    haha man if you want cheap power, you have the right car for it. ive seen guys make all the components themselves and only purchase the turbo and a few guages etc... and they went fine.
    Need some parts for my VH 253:
    Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
    Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
    PM with any info.
