sorry man. got bad news for you if you're in nsw. you can't put a 12a or 13b turbo into a gemi in nsw - coz of displacement n shit

you can put a 12a turbo or n/a. Or a 13b n/a, to do either of these you'll need to widen the tunnel to fit gearbox as well as custom mounts etc. ring an importer or rotary specialist to get detailed specifics and prices.

limitations on turbo is 2.4 and n/a is 2.8, as 12a=2.4 and 13b=2.6 I don't see a problem.

It was approved before the regulations were in place.
