Ok, VH Turbo??? Never knew they made one, hehe. Do you mean VL Turbo?

There was an aftermarket Normalair Garret kit available during the early 80s that was fitted to a number of blue 6 VC & VH commodores.

There was also the limited run of CDT commodores fitted with turbo 6s too. (yes, CDT, not to be confused with HDT).

hmmm....i didn't think the vh's had 4 speakers....i know in my vh sl theirs only one in the front at the centre of the dash....but i guess the sle's could be different

The SL/E certainly had 4 speakers, it was the first commodore to do so.
2 in the dash (1 in each corner) and 2 on the rear shelf.
The other hassle with the SL/E is you cannot use the factory wiring at the headunit for the speakers, only the power, as the speakers were powered by an external amp mounted to the driver's kick panel/pillar area above the bonnet release lever, and it was only line-level signal sent from the head unit to the amp.

i have a VH vacationer, it only has one speaker, and there are five wires, light green , dark green black, yellow and grey. Do u know which wire is for what?

yellow is 12V accessories, black is earth. you dont need the others, as you probably wont be running the stock speaker. (will you??) you have to run your own 12V constant from teh battery, as the vacationer doesnt have one
