Turbocharging my VL commodore.
What be a good Turbo combination for about 500hp?
My car is standard at the moment, but I'm trying to figure out if I should get a secondhand 5ltr V8, or a turbocharged engine from the wreckers. What would be the best direction for horsepower in terms of money?

Prob Turbo
Hey
From the standard RB30ET wit just the usual cam, chip, exhaust mods u can get bout 160-170rwkw.
U can get a Turbo from ATS for bout $1100 exchange that wil get u very close to your 500hp but will prob need stronger pistons altho the RAJAB boys used standard pistons in there 9second calais but u will no doubt need a computer upgrade.
But then when u go for the V8 your lookin at more rego,most likely more fuel,more money to get it to start wit,n most likely more hasles to convert it to a V8
