it's not that bad shipping from australia. they just put it in a box and take it to a shipping company like we do. a little while later it shows up here. this car shares many parts with the camaro so that should help. time will tell.

i know cars depreciate but i have to wonder if the g8 gxp might be worth a few buck some day. they only made 1800 or so total then dropped pontiac

they are the precision 6062's. they have a new numbering system on the smaller turbos where those numbers actually mean something.

i plan on running a decent intercooler but untill i get the front of the car off and look at things i wont know for sure. my garage floor was poured on saturday. a week from then is the day i plan on getting the car in the garage and ordering more parts. i will be taking pics for anyone that cares to see them.

That shouldn't deter you. You've prolly done more turbo projects on your own stuff than most ever will. You've got me beat if you've done 1.

Myself, if every time I saw someone else did something before me & said now I won't do it. Well, I wouldn't be able to do anything. I've had ideas in the past, & usually by the time I could ever do them, it's been done. Usually it's a function of $. I do cause I want to.

It's just cool to see people like yourself doin what u do.
