Checked the tire PSI to make sure it's still optimal because of the cold weather in the area. Rolled it forward a little to prevent flat spots.

Also opened up the wastegates. 10 psi springs confirmed. Decision time.....

are you for real?? I guess no one is familiar with the later model Zs that have XM radio. I didn't put two antennas on my car. The one on the side is for the regular AM/FM radio...the one on the top is for XM radio.

I said that because I was inferring that I would expect him to recognize an OEM part on the car since he spends so much (time/money) on this forum DUH

Did you pull the plug on some Boost? Link to build thread and/or details please.....

Keep in mind, if you run just off of the WG springs, you will loose close to 1 psi from the WG's all the way back up to the manifold.....I have 10psi springs and hit 9.2psi at the manifold.....

Hey K,

Yeah I finally got in my GTM stage 2 kit a week or so ago. I haven't started a build thread yet but I've included a few pictures on here.

Build list so far:
GTM stage 2 tuner kit
600cc injectors and walbro 255 fuel pump
Turbosmart wastegates with 10 psi springs
GTM 25 row oil cooler kit
Defi boost and oil temp gauge , Innovate A/F gauge and monitoring system

Parts I'm still shoping:
Clutch kit and HD slave cylinder(not sure what to go with for 400wtq. Want something under $1,000)
3" exhaust (I've come across someone selling his 3" APS exhaust. Thinking of going with it.)

ill definitely want to sub to that thread. Ive heard both good and bad about GTM and am kinda hesitant. Read a review about a stage 3 turbo kit not fitting properly and have been looking for more reviews on them, to see if it was a fluke or what not.
