Default Pair of TT Pontiac G8s

Here are a couple of pictures from the shop to keep you guys excited about the upcoming US release of the Pontiac G8. The first is our road race car complete with Gen-TTR Intercooled Twin Turbocharger system making 550rwhp -

The other is our new G8 Pickup (El Camino I suppose to you guys!) which has some 20 inch rims on board, coil overs, and as I type this a Gen-TTR complete with custom Comp Cam going into it

Massive front mount intercooler and supplementary oil cooler located above it. Before anybody asks the air filter pod is enclosed by the carbon fibre undertray at the front

Here is a picture of the mounting system for the Gen-TT G8 Intercooled Twin Turbocharger system. Notice high quality braided lines and JIC fittings, all race proven and tested

The road race event (called a Tarmac Rally over here) we are entered in next week has Mitsubishi as one of the major sponsors, hence you have to wear their decals....or you dont race

Here is a dyno graph from one of our G8 development cars (the four door). It is tuned for endurance road work, so the the tune is conservative and the boost is kept under 10psi for a pretty easy 540rwhp on 91 octane gasoline

The turbochargers are our own GTDW2840 series as found on our website - ls1turbo.com.au - and have been designed to work in a low mount application
