Al Guapo 2008 GT build: PH turbo install

Al Guapo · July 7th, 2008, 07:59 PM

Power House T67 kit

Painted intercooler keeps me sneakin up on the comp

Kenne Bell 40 amp boost-a-pump keep things nice and fat

CHE fixed lower control arms give it some bite

CHE adjustable upper

Dyno Jet Wide Band Commander, Auto Meter Boost gauge mounted in Speed of Sound dual pillar pod (Thanks for a great product for a great price Alan)

Yes it has a cat

Good to see the fenders covored. Shows that PH looks out for their customer's cars

Well, last week it came out of the shop and the car drove 440 miles home with 0 problems

The drive was well worth it for the outcome. Car drove like it was stock. Only 4,000 on the clock when I dropped it off!

It made 421RWHP & 416 RWTQ on a mustang dyno with crappy weather, rain and only saw 8.5 lbs.

Thanks to Power House Automotive (814) 774-4966 :

-Mike Bowen (owner) for doing an outstanding job with no unpleasant surprises on the bill and especially on the long drive home
-Brett for the solid labor and taking pics above

Thanks. To be honest though, I've had 2 cars that trapped about the same as this car so for me this is just a start. I just had to dump all the money into the turbo first. Hey I go prioraties.

I like the black wheels with the polished lip. I'm getting a set myself.

Saweeet! You're gonna have some fun with that.

HMUSN · July 7th, 2008, 08:12 PM

usafimj · July 7th, 2008, 08:13 PM

07BlkGT · July 7th, 2008, 08:14 PM

Black wheels look awesome on red...that would be a good choice for you IMO

06RedfireGT · July 7th, 2008, 09:14 PM

Yeah if you go to speedofsoundllc.com you'll see a torch red with black FR500s. The Shelby CS56 in black are catchin my eye as well. Just had to get the turbo out of the way first.

Thanks. Where in Jersey are you located? If you're not too far I'd like to possibly meet up with you and do some kind of a baseline. Let me know.

HMUSN · July 7th, 2008, 09:42 PM

No smack talk. Just fun in the sun. Just PM me when your car is ready. I'll check out the site.

HMUSN · July 7th, 2008, 09:51 PM

well by smack talk I mean it's all in good fun. the club has some VERY fast cars involved all over NJ. btw.. don't try to race the guy with the "Stock motor" buick v6. just a warning.. lol

OH NO. I know all about those GNs.

I have no tricks up my sleeves. I post my whole combo on forums cause I don't street race... for money.

By the way, 25,000+ posts!! Have you been a member since the GN days? I'm just comparing it to my measley 7 posts.

HMUSN · July 7th, 2008, 10:00 PM

I'm a post whore. it happens. I was unemployed for like 6 months so I racked up a nice post count. ( by unemployed I mean that I was taking a 6 month vacation because I just got off active duty in the military and didn't feel like working since I had the money saved to be able to do so)

now I go to school full time (lol get payed too) and work side jobs for extra cash

HMUSN · July 7th, 2008, 10:09 PM

regardless man. feel free to join up to the local site as well. The E boards are kinda slow but the people are one of a kind. just a bunch of enthusiasts for the most part.
it's a great group of people.

forensicsteve · July 7th, 2008, 10:15 PM

this is just a start

Congratulations on your choice of turbo. Precision makes an excellent turbo and Mike offers excellent postsales support and advice. Powerhouse truly rocks.

Yeah, that was me. I'm over there too! I will probably do the install on friday. I'll get back to you as soon as I tweek every thing. I may be selling my mbc after the install if you're looking for one. I'll make you a good deal...I probably won't need it anymore anyway.

Thanks. The more I drive it the more comfortable I am with my choice. I remember driving home from the shop like I was stepping on eggs. Just didn't wanna risk breaking down 300 miles from home.
