I was just searching the web and stumbled over this. I never knew he did a custom turbo setup. And i don't know whos grand am it is, but he lists all the steps for making a custom turbo kit i don't know if its for the grand am or alero, but its something to think about. P.S. those turbo calculators are pretty neat.

well my guess its an alero not a grand am but DAMN. looks nice.

ohh sorry, i know the pics are of homegrowns alero, but the site that i was on was for someones grand am off gagt.com i believe, and i wasn't sure if the list of parts for making the custom turbo was for the alero or grand am. Custom is nice, but to much work with tuning, i'll wait for HP.

wow can't believe he would advance his timing, that is assuming he did! anyhow it is a really nice setup, especially being custom and all, trust me custom Sh@t is not that easy! If he did blow the motor hope he rebuilds that monster!

The work looks good, but the idea was from the malibu concept car, the setup is the exact same, I'm sure thats where he got the idea to design it that way...

maybe i am wrong, but I am suprised to see the MAF sensor AFTER the turbo...on most applications the MAF is before the turbo...like on the supercharger kit for our alero's the MAF is relocated to right before the turbo....the reason why I am surpised is because you'd think that 7psi(i think thats what I read) of boosted air flowing through that MAF sensor would damage the sensor elements inside of it (which is why they usually have the MAF BEFORE the turbo, not after)

The site you were at was made by Craig99SE...the same guy that many of us had problems when we sent him money for items he never sent to us. He never got around to building the turbo 'cause in the end he said the Grand Am wasn't worth it...
