Estimated Power:
- Previous Owner hit 165rwkw @ 7psi (Power maxing out at 4500rpm) with a few boost leaks on a very safe tune.

Since then ive installed roller rockers yt 1.8 ratio, changed intake location, Removed xr6t intercooler and replaced with 600x300 intercooler and changed all piping (which fixed many/all boost leaks), given the car a full service with better quality plugs/leads etc and upped the boost to 12psi. So im estimating it to be around 200rwkw. But untill its next tune i wont know for sure but its definatly a TOTALLY different car to drive now.

Bloody nice, i love the yellow interceptor look on VN's and VL's. Looks tough when it's clean. I like this car!!! You did a bloody good job converting her from a VP to a VN.

Yellow VN Turbo
the car is running 12psi at the moment. and running really nice.

Ive been adjusting the tune myself (road tune) but ill be taking it to my tuner in townsville in the coming weeks to finish the tune.


the picture of the car when it was a vp and green shows the old intercooler and home piping job haha..


The next big move for the car would be a new turbo manifold (i hate were the turbo sits on this setup amongst other things) and upgrading to a internally gated gt3540.

Ive got another engine that im slowly building up with forgies, cam etc etc for when this engine goes bang lol.
