Think they where something like $250 from ford?And auto shops not far behind. Tried a tailshaft manufacture here in QLD and was told V8 Late model camira and $150?Hard to imagine that small bit of rubber taking all the power and torque these cars put out.

Just tell them it's a v8 if you have to go in there..... Or they will give you taxi spec This is the correct part number for the turbos and v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
