Nothing
122rwkw is quite amazing if your reading it right considering they came out stock with 114kw at the engine.

I pumped out 120rwhp or thereabouts when it was n/a- just excuse and filter.

I got a result when I did the turbo conversion, but it said 130rwhp. And I honestly didn't believe it.

few bits better than stock looking at 150-160. much less when running LPG (which is all i can afford lately.....) nearly 300 000 on the clock.

EL FALCON XR6
std vl 6 cyl runs 114kw, turbo runs 150kw and V8 runs 132kw. Mine is std with cold air induction, k&n filter, pacemakers, hi-flow cat and sports exhaust and putting stage 2 chip in next week. i estimate my kw's to be more than a std v8 but not as high as a turbo... yet. A bloke at uni-chip also told me all vl's run different kw's. even if the same bloke made it on the same day with the same batch of bits. i do like the idea of removing the mesh, no real point for it. it doesn't filter squat unless you run a pod filter or ram flow that falls apart and sucks into the intake.

mine is stock and it will leave my dads 2004 ford AU and they have i think 168kw

unless its XR6 or Fairmont Ghia they are 158kw, and even then unless you have a Turbo NO stock VL N/A would hold one off.

Is that a stock turbo readout? im certain the V8 pumped more than the turbo from factory....(but i cant back with with perfect numbers so laugh)
