With no B series turbo wagon leaves me scrawling through carsales looking at a SKODA RS 245 but then catch myself out thinking its no barra (aftermarket, tuning, accessibility of parts, mechanics who are familiar). Don't even look at HSV Clubsport wagons shaun… just don't... but I may. As someone with limited time, knowledge/skills for DIY or space, building a barra wagon isn't really an option. Although my mechanic/engine builder did start a BA wagon project he never completed with low km FG turbo motor.

I appreciate the effort Ford made to go out on a limb with the territory, I just wish they did this one thing.
Buy a BF wagon. Get a turbo driveline and swap it into the wagon. Most registration authorities have no problem with it as long as you use the turbo brakes as well (certainly the case in the ACT).
