Hi Mark, I'm in Round Rock!

This is going to be sick.. and my 2nd fav turbo buick of all time. Can't wait to see it completed. Keep it up.. some of us are living vicariously through you here on this :)

Just watched Black Air. I knew he was a GN fan from the stereo system he made infamous in the 90's but had no idea how big into it he was. Cool!

dragrazor, what wheel/tire combo is that, and is your car lowered? I think, after all my years of admiring/and now owning an evil turbo buick, the GNX style wheels are still the best look. Thanks in advance for sharing!

How much did they give for it?

It will sound about 400% better due to the stereo image and sound-stage being there due to path-length differences being negated. This picture illustrates on thier website..

I agree with you, ported boxes always sounded more musical too me.. but servo controlled sealed boxes handeled the transients best. Thta's why - if I ever change - I'm going MAPD; so far it seems to be the best of both worlds.

What about the mufflers with the spring loaded baffle in it?

Couple of quick points here based on your rant... You can NOT get a stereo image from the dash because of the path length differences. I agree the SAS tube is good for bass, but you cant get decent bass from the 8" on the shelf, you need a 10" firing rearward in the spare tire well. putting...

Looks ust outstanding! How much did the whole setup cost you? Any gotcha's I should look out for. i want to do this and upgrade my suspension ASAP.

This car has been in the pro-audio compeition ranks for decades, it's hard to beat the sound-stage and imaging quality you can get from the kick panels (or underdash w/waveguides) so really the only thing you need are mid-bass drivers and the rear quarter panels are a much better place to put...

Man.. that's a really great writeup!

Thanks!

Anyone happen to know of the "Turbonut85" thread 1quick6 mentions, I cant find it.. this sight has a HORRIBLE search function.

I'm sure it would be totally awesome, but man that seems like LOT of work in contrast to just rebuilding the V8 and boost it w/an STS remote mount turbo kit. http://ststurbo.com/

Not dead-set, but it stirs up so many bad feelings I'd rather have it back stock. If it is an easy fix, great, I just dont have time to do it. I'm a field systems engineer covering 50 accounts in Austin and SA for one of the hottest software companies going, have 3 young children, and run 2 side...

Thanks guys.. so what tire size SHOULD I use if I want to run the 15x7's all the way around? I'm not taking it to a track, but if I can make it stick at red lights to embarrass modern pony cars even more-so that would be great!.

Would the 275/50/15 fit w/out a spacer? I'm assuming it would becuase of the narrower wheel. Also, what is the preferred size for the fronts on a 15x7" wheel for street use? I prefer a smaller OD tire, but dont know how to size it.

I'm in Austin...

Love to, but I dont have the time to take it out and put the power-master back in. I'd rather just buy a power-master and give the hydroboost to someone in exchange for their labor.
