Yea I was thinking that. Bit there's not much I can do about it.

You can still see all the lights behind the black. I made sure I tested that.

I don't know much about the wagon trims but does a sedan upper trim fit as its moulded with a curve to suit that will fill te gap and hopefully clear the tailgate.
Nice looking wagon non the less

As far as I know the VL wagons never came with that piece under the rear lights?

 

[Scrusy]

Nah don't think they did. A few mods and I could do it shouldn't be hard. Got a mate who's a fibre glasser. But then again I don't wanna f**k it lol.
Cheers Nath. It's screaming an crying at me for a turbo though haha

 

[detox_nath83]

Know the feeling. Well start gathering parts. Crazy difference. U will never go back to a na again. Just sayin'

 

[Scrusy]

U reckon u could write up a list of stuff. Even the small things that i might miss when building it

I was driving back from the shops today at lunch, decided to give her a squirt in 1st around a corner, heard this crazy noise and then my spool got 100x louder, anddidn't flutter when I let off the gas. I thought for sure Ihad blown something, turns out I had popped a silicone piece, so tightened her back up andall hunky dory! Freaked me out though lol

As for a list:

Turbo, .............if its not internal gated u need an External Wastegate
Oil/Water lines to suit
Turbo ECU [Not mandatory]
Turbo Injectors [Not mandatory]
Cooler and piping/Couplers
Turbo Exhaust Manifold
Boost Gauge

That's about it, copied from when I first asked Nath about it hahaha

Then like, oil catch can etc

What's the average cost? Obviously getting done in the garage lol so save a bit there and also save with the aluminium piping, will just get the metal engineers next to work to do it. Also if u could, can u think of the price of ur 3in exhaust and dump pipe together with all the other stuff.
Cheers fellas

I ended up spending probably like, $1200 or something on mine, I got my gear from Lazza so the turbo gear came with the 3" dump, turbo manifold, 3" Exhaust etc etc so I can't really vouch for reliable prices
