GTO vs 5.0
Not to get off topic but car will be gone this week, trading it for a 96 talon tsi awd, garret 50 trim, buscher dp, catback, tubular header, etc. etc. heavily modded.
Maybe that will be a little quicker and give a GTO more of a challenge.

But I got it yesterday. Figured I'd post up the mods, It needs a tune really bad. Car is capable of around 350awhp.. like 300awhp on a conservative street tune.
- 96 tsi awd 5spd
- garrett 50 trim
- SAFC II
- Precision 680cc injectors
- Walboro 255 fuel pump
- FPR
- Tubular Exhaust Manifold
- ARP Head Studs
- All ACL Bearings
- Kevlar T-Belt and BS Belt
- Dejon Intake
- 3" Catback w/ 2.5" Testpipe
Only bad thing is boost is set at 9lbs till I pick up an UICP and 1g BOV.
Few Pictures.



Looks like a nice car. I like that it has the 1g Talon rims on it instead of the 2g. They look better, IMO. You def. need to up the boost though. It's running lower boost than the stock turbo right now.

Nice car man. Tell me that 50trim isn't being fed through the stock intercooler! I fit is, get a front mount on that ASAP! Should easily see 350awhp on that with a conservative street tune.

Don't crush the 1g Bov. You'll run into more problems then it is worth. I ran 22lbs of boost with my 50 trim on a 1g bov without crushing it just fine. I'd keep the boost conservative too (less then 15lbs) until you get a new intercooler on there. No worries though, even at 9lbs that 50trim is making far more power then a T 2 small at 17psi.
