My love for seafoam:

ZOMFRJBBQ... That's tight yo... Oh and

nice turbo man

and wow!!!

NICE!!!!!!!!!!! JEBUS THAT IS SEXY!!!

to FP Derek!!

to FP! great work on the GA.

its actually for sale, but If i can pull a 2nd job may not need to get rid of it.

I want a turbo...

hey!!! turbo!!! drool! nice car and how much lbs are you boosting on the GAGT motor?

12, had it to 15 but i dont trust it... stock motor, than upgraded valve springs (LS6) and it has bigger injectors. but it loves 12 psi... i've been running 6, broke stock trans. Had a trans built for me to take a beating.. so now i just push 12. but if i knew internals would hold up to 15 man she would really go

nice specs. what type of turbo is it?

very nice! have you dyno'd yet? or do you have an average of what you think your HP range is at?

and very nice GA, love the boost factor

positive its in the 300s... but never been dyno'd

Awesomeness!!! My goal is 300 HP after my top end rebuild with parts from wot-tech.com and my turbo install... you should get your car dynoed!

thats actually some good numbers. pretty quick street car if i must say

With that much HP how is the traction, wheel hop and torque steer off the line?

I <3 Boost. Welcome to FP.

Hey Dereks here..... great! haha Welcome to the club man.

Traction, is there even a word for explaining this... none at all... even from 60 rolls.. I was running some very expensive front tires before and they seemed to grab a lot better than ones i got on now.. but if it grabs my torque steer is redonculous.

Hmmmm, have you tried wider rims?

I eventually want to hook up a snail to mine. Welcome to the site man.

Hmmmm, have you tried wider rims?

Been trying to find about 8.5" - 9" wide rims cant find any nor do i think they will fit.

I've found some for my G6, and we have the same bolt pattern I think, you just need to look for a staggered set, and swap the normal deeper rear tire for the front

yeah i just wanna get lightweight front wide drag rims or any rim and put a DR on it or something street worthy i hate boost just because of the fact id go through tires after like 3k miles
