HP Tuners....we are one of their software Beta testers
One of HP Tuners owners also uses our Gen-TT turbo kit on his GTO

That's also an 04 GTO with the LS1.....the software has been out for those cars for few years now.

The guy who tunes my car here in the US is also a Beta Tester. he had my GTO dialed in nicely So i suppose i should be asking him questions too.

The reason i'm asking is because it wont be an LS2 in the G8. Different motor and most likely a different PCM. Will the software from HPtuners be capable of tuning the US spec cars with such big bolt ons as your TT kit?

Yes, we have been tuning the L98 LSX engine as found in the VE/G8 for several months now with HP Tuners software

Back on topic. The G8 is mighty tempting and this kit makes it look even better. Especially for the Family Guy! You can your cake and eat it, too!

Ah .
I hope to get the G8 (and take off the G8 badge and put on a Grand Prix badge ) in a couple years (wife going to nursing school). Might need to just leave the internals on the engine alone and buy this!

This kit easily outperforms a head/cam/maggie/spray style deal
We have plenty of other parts all ready to go for G8 as well, so keep watching here

looks great street tuner. are they stock manifolds with manifold-to-turbo pipes on there???

also great enginering on the boost pipes form the turbos! looks like a pain in the A** to route them!

thanks Chris.

Yes chuntington they are the stock VE/G8 manifolds
Rarely have I seen something more 'ready for boost' than these items!
Routing the cold pipes this way was done for two reasons - first it gives excellent lock to lock clearance on the steering, secondly is that with the pipes like this there is ZERO cutting of the bodywork required to fit the kit!
