Default maggiecharged 08 G8 GT
tvs1900 kit from PMFL
hitting 5psi, totally stock engine, cats, mufflers, etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paXXKm0p4u4

this thing looks stock in here!


me and my friends installed it in just over 5 hours. what an excellent kit!
ill never stop being impressed with the quality of the blower, and all the equipment they give you down to the very last bolt, zip tie, connector, and the crank pinning kit is amazing!

5psi, 85deg and humid as ***** out, next time im on the rollers im gunna gut the cats and swing it to 6500.


i am extremely pleased with how powerful and how insanely quiet this car is with that much power.

it pulls like a train with 4 - 200lb adults in the car.

Great numbers man! Add long-tubes, cat-back and you'll see 460 or so to the tires.

Awesome for five hours of work!

yeah its great really considering how small the cam is in the g8 and only 5psi on a totally quiet corked up engine.

i love how quiet it is, so i wont do exhaust, i am going to gut the cats and get a lower tstat to get some heat out of the engine, should help out alot, then i wanted to do 60lb inejctors and a pulley, or go right to a methanol kit and see how well that does.

Awesome numbers! I'm definitely debating going this route on mine. It'll either be the blower or bolt-ons and a shot of nitrous, we'll see

I'm actually suprised it came with 42's. We run 60lb minimum on all blower cars.

great results

I see you noted you used the stock injectors, but all TVS setups we have done come with upgraded injectors.
