Pics of my 2009 G8GT Just sharing pics of the G8GT soon to be G8GT-TT
Been talking with a shop to put together and install an APS TT package. I'll keep everyone posted.

Please keep us posted on the TT progress. I can't wait to see the amount of psi you run, your dyno, and timeslips.
I know on the C6's, the APS is worth 550-650 to the wheels depending on the boost and tune and can hit 9's....all with a stock internal engine.
So, I'm looking forward to your results.
Beautiful car. Very tasteful selection of color and wheels.
What G8 color is that and what is the make/model/finish of those wheels?
Thanks.

Thanks guys!
The color is Pacific Slate metallic. Suspension consists of an Eibach Pro kit. The wheels are Breyton GTS Black with Nitto 555's 245/35/20 and 285/30/20.
I'm actually kicking around the ideas of 2 setups. An APS TT or a TVS1900 system. What do you guys think? Both setups will cost exactly the same.
Dyno graphs of the two setups I'm considering....
APS-TT @9psi with 60lb injectors and a catback
TVS1900 @8-10psi with 60lb injectors, LT headers, BAP and a catback

The TVS will give you more off the line torque, which these cars need to get their heavy *** moving. The drawback is that much torque off idle will make traction impossible.
The TT kit will build boost later in the rev range, giving the car a second to grip before the power really kicks in.

After riding in a APS TT 6.0 GTO, I fell in love with the kit; drove like stock until you got into the boost, very smooth, kit was very stealthy, and turbos are just cool.
The TVS has the new bypass valve so that you're not always in the boost either but I haven't had the chance to be around one, but everyone who's put one on their G8 has loved it.

However, the new TVS systems offer the OEM reliability, simplicity, low cost, and the LOW END GRUNT of PD blowers.
Now, that LARGER TVS 2300 blower is here, it offers the efficiency, expandability, and MAX power that always eluded Maggies as well.

The car looks awesome. Love the stance of the car but black wheels just aren't my cup of tea. I would like the same wheels for my car but they would be polished aluminum.
