After months and months of waiting:
The Canadian GT-> GTX is on the road!

My first run in the car was awsome! The power is strong at the bottom but doesn't start to spool till 3K from there on the car builds boost instantly and doesn't runs out of breath. Only had her go to 6000 since Im still babying her. First gear is a over way too quickly and requires "throttle management" to keep traction. Second throws you back hard into the seats, Again Throttle Management is required. Third is continues where 2nd left off throwing you hard into the back as the boost stays at a steady 12lbs again past 5000 wheel spin must be managed! Gotta love the cold Canadian nights, the intercooler almost felt frozen!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this upgrade, but I sure am pleased with the results!
Just a bit of tidying up to do with the wiring and guages.

Worth the wait!

One BOOST Happy Camper!
