No worries we will have this thing sorted out for you on Monday. I hate to see people go through this problem to try and save a couple of $ then end up spending more fixing the first persons mistake.

Unfortunately APS stopped making the 04-06 GTO kit but luckily there are a few vendors that supply replacement and upgraded parts for this kit. I know one of the local GTO guys has one of these kits sitting in the garage. I'm sure I could borrow it for test fitting when I start my swap.

- APS basically abandoned the US market, no parts, no support. My experience with APS was that they had great fitment and installation directions, but were not the best for long term durability with some of the oil drain lines and such.

My preference for F/I on the LS motors will be SC. My brother-in-law has one on his LS1 Vette and its reliable as hell and make mid 500whp all day long. The Maggie is the simplest setup I have found for our applications (with SIKKY kit). I am not sure if the Edelbrock SC will be too far forward to allow clearance before the radiator.

Either way, I have a made a firm committment to not do any upgrades this season. I just want to drive and enjoy the car for a whole summer. Its been blown up for the past 3 years every summer and in the garage on stands.

That is the way to go! I am still on the fence if I feel boost is really even worth it in our cars with the LS swap. I think with so many options to make good power N/A it's the way to go long term if you are just streeting or dragging your car. Road racing might be a bit different but it would really depend on the type of track you go to.

that twin turbo kit will have to be adjusted greatly for our engine bay. Those things are way wider than we have for room.

i have tons of room from my sikky headers to my frame. the only tight portion is near the steering shaft. the aps manifolds seem to hug the block alot closer too. the only part thats iffy, as stated above was the intercooler piping, but we have sasha for that

It is time to get this done. I will be subscribed to this thread. Get the harness in. I suspect you have handy friends who have either built cars, or work on M3's. Get it done Vas. If I don't see a running car in this thread by June I am going to cry.

Get the harness in first, before you do anything else.
