Am I right in saying we cannot legally turbo the VF?

You can boost for under 10k. Tonyz Garage, Raptor or WASP for example.

The LSA is pure potential. You can crank them up pretty hardcore without needing an engineering cert. All comes down to how many bucks you got to blow

Shame you arnt in WA, we do what we want over here.....

Forced induction is the go, the rest just wastes fuel and raises the peak HP RPM.

Its a real shame Pir4te is banned AGAIN , as I'm sure he could tell you exactly how to get your L77 to 650 hp and 880nm all while returning 7 litres per hundred Ks on E85.;)
And you could cop a lecture on how useless and unnecessary forced induction really is.o_O
In all seriousness , check out Killa Boost manifolds on facebook , plenty of late model commies copping some turbo action.

Yeh, pir4te/monster/asian guy. Its all copy paste. Worse than bible bashers on a Sunday morning....

Not really. Series 1 trade would be $30k if I was lucky, LSA senators start at $70k used
I had a squizz on CarSales, I was looking at Gen-F ‘cos Gen-F2 are double the price; was about $20k difference.
Maybe the HSV sellers are getting close to their asks than the Calais sellers ... but with things costing nearly double the price, that’d be unusual.

You cant beat the instant throttle response of forced induction. I drive around at 2 -3k , cams dont even work until 4k. Why bother...

Math mustn't have been your fav subject in school....

50kw gain for $3000

100kw gain for $9-12,000


It might be modest, but for the low coin, my cammed 422kw engine is plenty fast enough.

Appreciate you lovely compliment. However

You show me somewhere in Sydney that will do cam including DOD delete for $3k and I’m in. Going rate is $5k plus

DoD delete is about a grand on top of the cam pack for AFM owners
