Ill be reassembling mine in the next couple weeks will try to help out

Jerry at Medford Speed in NJ is an old timer who does great work. He's a few months out though. I'm going to Alderman Machines in Delaware for my turbo build.

Going to be starting my tear down and motor build so will try to document as best I can. Car is a 2012 9C1 NJ Port Authority car. 80k on the car when I got it at an insurance auction in Long Island. Has a ridiculous amount of idle hours (17,000 if I remember) Planned to just swap the cam and drive i...

I originally posted this in the wrong section.. With the exception of the G8 Designs bezel and hvac controller, are there any other options for double din headunit in place of stocker? Could the display be taken out up top in favor of a double din, and maintain the hvac by supplying power, ground an...

Tires going on will be 275/30 and 245/35

need to check all the stuff ive stated before

Not well versed in diagnosing electrical issues, how do I check voltage drop? Just monitor voltage at each component while hot and cranking ?

Little update and hoping to get some more input. I replaced the main battery with an AGM unit, cleaned up the main ground and replaced the bolt and removed most of the police wiring that was left in the trunk. Seemed to improve the symptoms a little but i’m still occasionally getting a slow crank an...

I’ve only seen one member on here with a turbo build. Anybody else done it on a caprice?

I’ve seen a few twin set ups on G8s, interested in any single turbo builds.

So would this point to a poor ground? Or a dying battery?
