Default Twin Turbo GTO on the road again...almost...

It's getting close now...we've hacked up my Pro Turbo manifolds to accept a pair of T70's and fabbed new downpipes...







...just have a few more "little things" to finish up and then I'll send to pipes off for coating. Hopefully it'll be back up and running in a few weeks.

Here's the whole reason the car's been down to begin with. I broke the stock rear and decided to shoe horn a Moser 9" in there...







...decided that I might as well upgrade the turbo's while I was at it...lol.

Thanks, man.
Nope, it's a torque arm set-up just like an F-body.

This is the only pic I saw and it looks similar to a 4-link type setup from the back but I guess you just added those to mount the coilovers...looks killer!

Is this an all out drag car? Just wondering why you went so big with the twins.

Nope. Not an all out drag car by any means. It still has A/C and all other factory options. I just wanted a little more power

The car is looking good. With a 408 and those twins I wonder what a GTO could run on 25 or 30 lbs of boost.
