nicc Member 20 Member For: 15y 5m 19d Posted 18/12/09 11:09 PM Share Posted 18/12/09 11:09 PM Hey guys I currently have a N/A BA XR6 sedan and may need to trade it in for a ute for work. I am on the P plate laws (no turbos, v8, 200kw+) and looking at getting a XR6T ute, removing the turbo and putting it back in when I'm off my P's. How difficult would this be and is it a big job to do? What $$$ am I looking at in additional parts etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally was going to upgrade straight away to a turbo as soon as I was off my P's, now that I may need a ute I thought save trading it in again, just go straight to turbo and remove it.

Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 3m 28d Gender: Male Posted 18/12/09 11:55 PM Share Posted 18/12/09 11:55 PM To hard to do. I would suggest debadging your car including the XR6 so no one will ever be the wiser. My car is completely debadged but has had a fair bit of work done under the bonnet. Its also nice and quite so no one really has a clue until they look closely through the front bar.If it was easy to do mate there would be a heap of blokes out there that would be able to give you advice after have done it. But sorry to say doesnt look like there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's compliance says it's a turbo vehicle, whether you remove the turbo or leave it there the vehicle is not legal for you to drive.I just heard that on a forum so it's second hand info, you may wanna check it. Actually it was on this forum a year or 2 ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
