Keep your turbos. Supercharger, if at all. :)


I'd be happy with 400 bhp.

I reckon the unforced induction torque will be enough to not "suffer" too much in the way of turbo lag....   ....but then, everything is relative, so unless you are getting your full 1000bhp, it will seem flat ;D

Well, you're all wrong.

I had my nose under a Monaro bonnet on Tuesday afternoon, 7l with 2 enormous turbos, in excess of 1000bhp. Those turbos won't fit under the bonnet of an Omega.

A yellow one?

Cut out the front of the inner wings, lose the SL pump and horns, replace the wheel arch liners with heatshields, and move the remaining contents of the engine bay to the boot :y Simples ::)

Supercharging is much more space efficient :y

Front suspension doesn't look too great on monaro as 2woody said. Couple of control arms is all. :-\
