Time For New Set Up...

Like some people say "A GTO is a Grand Prix on steriods".
The only thing that looks alike is the front end, other than that it's a totally different car. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
What a PITA this is.

Seems that the Prochargers are having a few problems. First off the intercooler is a POS... though from what I have heard they have a 1" thicker intercooler that they got out in 2005 that is much better. Also the 6 rib belt system they have slips. It seems you need to upgrade to the 8 rib one for it to be more reilable. Also there have been a few that says the supercharger leaks.

EDIT: It seems that the STS kit for the GTO comes with the new intercooler and the 8 rib system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The STS system will sound raspy as hell and like poo with no mufflers/cats. I guess I could add cats to help mellow it out though that will add on more time for the turbo to get heated up and spool. Other than that it's a good system.

On the other hand my tuner really wants me to go with this new $5000 twin turbo set up, along with some of my buds that have researched it. It's a well designed system, though the turbos and BOV's could be of better quality. Not saying they are not reliable, they will work fine but it would just be a good piece of mind to use better parts IMO. On top of that the system does not come with fuel. So I will also have to buy a Walbro fuel pump, maybe even a boosta pump and 42lb or 60lb injectors. Then I will also need a boost controller, etc. So add on another $1000-1500. Though the TT kit would be awesome. It will have little to no lag and make great torque/horse power. It may be worth spending the extra $2-2.5k for.

Here is the GenTT kit... http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=53767

Either system will make great power. It's just what kind of BS I want with whatever I go and how much I want to spend. Going forced induction is a lot more complicated than I thought. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
