Nobody has noticed that his turbos oil drains into the BOTTOM of the pan ?

I feel bad for your turbo.

Don't pay attention to the sig, the wheels have been gunmetal for some time.

Then the retun line wanted to crease so I got this cool little anti-crease thing from the parts store, works great.

Default Re: My GSR, finally boosted.

just wondering...but is it anything to worry about with the oil return zipped to the radiator? As in when the motor torques when u load it...
Or would the rubber line itself + the rubber mountings for the radiator, allow it to move enough to not pull ur return off the pan?

BTW nice setup...I don't know where ur located but i'd paint the intercooler black just to avoid the extra attention. But that's what I would do...

x2 on the convoluted tubin around ur feed line to prevent jackin up the valve cover.

Also on ur fan situation.....are those reversible fans? Pretty good job well done...hope ur son likes boost.

Default Re: My GSR, finally boosted. *tuned!*

Got it tuned today, finally.


I've been working 72 hours a week so I haven't had any time to work on the car and finish up the dump tube/exhaust/fuel pump so I reluctantly took it into a shop. For the first time I've ever taken one of my cars into a shop.

I'm making more than enough money at this job so I said ---- it and let them finish it up.

For super sleeper/pass emissions mode i kept the stock exhaust and had them do a wastegate cutout that opens at 3.5psi. Pretty ------- awesome!

I was on my way home to get my camera to make a ripper vid and i heard metal fall as i was driving and then i got some bad vibrations. Shifter started bouncing all over the place...my ------ motor mount bolt backed out! so now I gotta get that ****** back in not a big deal, just kind of annoying.

Sunday I will make a vid for you guys.

Oh yeah, It's tuned @ 7psi cause I forgot to bring in my MBC. They said to bring it back when I get the chance and they will retune at 10lbs for $50.
Even at 7psi it pulls pretty effing hard...cant wait till 10.

Overall I'm pleased, but the boost needs to be @ 10lbs for sure.

The shop I had do the tuning did the cut out. I guess they've been doing it for quite some time now but I'd never heard about it till last weekend.
