Pics of my new ga

[bobgagt]

Well some of you know what happened to me lately. We bought my fiance a PT cruiser and we didnt know it but when we went to buy it it had the hahn racecraft stage II turbo kit on it. SO, I was like wow I need something turbo. I sold my white ga to a friend and I was looking for something turbo and came across a grand am that I couldn't pass up.

Here are the pics

I might be forgetting something in there. I'm getting different rims (my old 17's) and I'm ordering black and white katzkin for it. I already ordered mufflerS. This thing is hella loud and I'd leave it single exhaust if it didnt have two cutouts. The only problem with it is the turbo manifold needs to be re-welded.

Tell me what you think :)

Bob, you know how I feel about it. It's just awesome. I hate to see you give up your '98 but this one has so much more for you. You and your girl both having turbo's...must be nice! :P

[bobgagt]

Its fun... the pt is just hilarious... 9 psi and a super loud blow off valve plus it looks near stock.

My GA needs some work but for the money I can't complain :)

[StaindGreen9]

Is that the one that was in the 2.4L engine specific discussion?

[bobgagt]

Yup.

[StaindGreen9]

I'm very jealous of you.

[hot97]

yea, i was watching that auction. you got quite a buy on it. I was half tempted to go get a loan and place a bid myself.

[Big Joe]

wow thats one awsome ga. What kind of gauge pod is that. Seems to fit pretty well

[98_gee-tee]

how many psi from the turbo?

[VanishingImage]

Awesome*drool* You lucky guy you:D

:agree: i agree. that is one badass GA. good for you

[bobgagt]

Well its pushing 5 psi at the top of 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th. No boost in 1st because the exhaust manifold has a nasty leak... its not able to push the turbo so thats gettin fixed this week.

The gage pod is a mustang triple pod he had some shop mold to the a pillar so it looks like it belongs there.

Thanks guys :)

how much psi you plan on getting it up to?

[bobgagt]

Well 12 is the safest with fuel mods (and I got them). I'm gonna push it at 8 and see what numbers I can get.

[VanishingImage]

good deal:)

[DontPassTheFence]

Congrats, I saw that auction and watched it religiously, seriously if i had the means and a good loan rate, I would have bidded on it as well! im just lgad some one on the forums got it so it can wear the GAOC decals! Nice job bob, you got a hella good deal on it as well. I am so jealous :thumbup2:

[98_gee-tee]

are the internals all stock? if they are, i wouldn't boost more than 7-8 psi

[bobgagt]

When everything is back together I'll be boosting 9psi with the stock internals. Several people on the jbody forum have ran 10-12 psi on stock internals with no problems so I'm not scared.

Aside from that, if something DOES go wrong with the engine, thats more of a reason to build one up. When he originally had the turbo setup installed on this car he was pushing 9psi every day and the car has 70k miles on it and the engine purrs like a kitten. If everything is setup right (with the ignition timing and the fuel) then 9psi will be no problem for me.
